need a script to determine daily how many times does the below repeated sequence exist in a log file, and if it shows failure to connect in the same file
200 PORT Command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for rgr016.daily.0305.
226 Transfer complete.
local: rgr016.daily.0306 remote: rgr016.daily.0306

also grep for "Not connected"

(trying to confirm consistent daily number of expected transfers, & will want to use this total against list of expected outputted files on another /dir

Thanks!

log has been set to only keep one day's worth of transfers and will no longer append

Hi,

do "man grep"

Thanks
Sha

echo -ne "Port:\t";grep -c 200 $file;echo -ne "Open:\t";grep -c 150 $file;echo -ne "Transfer:\t";grep -c 226 $file;echo -ne "Failed:\t";grep -ci "not connected" $file

A better way using perl
=========================================
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

$PORT=0;
$OPEN=0;
$TRANS=0;
$FAIL=0;

unless (open(INPUT, "<test5.txt")) {
die ("cannot open input, check permissions\n");
}
unless (open(OUTPUT, ">output.txt")) {
die ("cannot open output, check permissions\n");
}
while ($line = <INPUT>) {
if ($line =~ /200/) {
$PORT++;
}
elsif ($line =~ /150/) {
$OPEN++;
}
elsif ($line =~ /226/) {
$TRANS++;
}
elsif ($line =~ /not connected/i) {
$FAIL++;
}
}
print OUTPUT "PORT: $PORT\n";
print OUTPUT "OPEN: $OPEN\n";
print OUTPUT "TRANS: $TRANS\n";
print OUTPUT "FAIL: $FAIL\n";

close (INPUT);
close (OUTPUT);
