You can do something like this :
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh

#
# Define logile and searched word
#

log_file=logfile
searched_word=word
prv_line_count_file=${log_file}.prv_count

#
# Get previous line count
#

if [ -f ${prv_line_count_file} ]
then
   prv_line_count=$(<${prv_line_count_file})
else
   prv_line_count=0
fi

#
# Get actual line count and memorize it
#

line_count=$(awk 'END {print NR}' ${log_file})
echo ${line_count} > ${prv_line_count_file}

#
# If logfile is smaller, start searching at the first line
#

if [ ${prv_line_count} -gt ${line_count} ]
then
   prv_line_count=0
fi

#
# Search for word
#

awk -v num=${prv_line_count} \
    -v word="${searched_word}" \
    'NR>num && $0~word { count +=1 } END { print count+0 }' \
    ${log_file}

NAME

       dictfmt_index2word - Creates a .word index file from a DICTD database .index file

SYNOPSIS

       dictfmt_index2word [OPTIONS] [index_file]

DESCRIPTION

       dictfmt_index2word  creates  a  word index file on stdout for the index file given on stdin or the command line.  A word index file indexes
       each subword from the multi-word headwords of the .index file, to the underlying .dict file.  A word index file	is  usually  named  <base-
       name>.word, but this is not mandatory as long as the proper name is used in the dictd configuration file.

OPTIONS

       --help displays a usage message and exits

       --locale locale
	      use locale for sorting the .word file. If this option is omitted, the default locale "C" is used.

       index_file
	      the .index file to be converted.
