Monitoring & emailing log files
Hi
..first post !
I have a Unix v445 using solaris 10. I've trolled through various web pages but can't find exactly what I'm looking for.
I have an alert log...or any messages file for that matter I need to check for certain key (error type) phrases - if I find them, they are redirected to a file and emailed to a distribution list. I want to execute this script as a cron job running every hour.
The next time the cron job runs, rather than running from the top again & thus possibly duplicating the same errors, I need a seperate file that shows the linecount from the previous check.....this new check starts its checking from the linecount to the end of the file......the new line count replaces the previous one and so on
Do I need to have a 'collector' that holds the words/phrases I'm looking for ?
