Search for multiple strings and mail accordingly

AnneAnne · #1 (**permalink**) 03-04-2009

Hi,
I need to find if there is any error in the last few lines of the log file and send a mail accordingly.For example,
Following errors can be logged in the log file.
ERR_1="DB Connection not established"
ERR_2="Server Unloading"
I need to find if these errors are found in the log file and send different mails according to the errors.
How can we do that?

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

cat log |
while read line; do

  case $line in

  ERR_1*) echo $line | mailx to_somebody@wherever.com ;;
  ERR_2*) echo $line | mailx to_somebody_else@wherever.com ;;

  esac

done
