This is the script for the cold backup that we get from mycat every time it goes down and up again.
It's a huge email that we get and all within the body.

Here is the dilemma;
I would like to capture just the “”successful start up of the luminis app.””
I don't know if I need to do an “if statement “ or just get rid of the | tee -a $LOGFILE.
This back up script is running out of a cronjob once a week for the cold backup.
So what I was thinking was to take out all of the | tee -a $LOGFILE statements except for the last statement for the starting of luminis,
that way it would solve me getting the email on the body filled with the whole process as you can see in the script bellow. Once a week I get this huge email.
I want it to make sure that the backup happens, the logs get written, but that the email that I get only shows whether the startup of the application called luminis has started or failed. So what to do?
See the script bellow;;;;;
