I'm writing a script that will automate the launch of some services on my AIX machine. However, some services are dependent on the successful startup of others. When I start these services manually, I usually just check a log file until I see a message that confirms a successful startup. So, I figure I can integrate this into my script but I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. I was thinking something like this:
Code:
while [ `tail -f /path/to/log/file | grep "PATTERN"` -ne "0" ]; do
done
but that seems cumbersome for the system (not to mention the fact that I don't think it's working). What would be the best approach here? Thanks for your help.

I have a file that is 20 - 80+ MB in size that is a certain type of log file.
It logs one of our processes and this process is multi-threaded. Therefore the log file is kind of a mess. Here's an example:

STARTFLUXBOX(1) Fluxbox Manual STARTFLUXBOX(1)NAME
startfluxbox - start a fluxbox session
SYNOPSIS
startfluxbox
DESCRIPTION
startfluxbox is a script which runs the file ~/.fluxbox/startup If it doesn't exist it will be generated.
startfluxbox should be started from your ~/.xinitrc if you use startx, or ~/.xsession if you run a display manager, like xdm.
FILES
~/.fluxbox/startup
This file contains all commands that should be executed before fluxbox is started. The initial file contains helpful comments for
beginners. It also starts fluxbox.
EXAMPLES
The default ~/.fluxbox/startup is as follows:
#!/bin/sh
#
# fluxbox startup-script:
#
# Lines starting with a '#' are ignored.
# Change your keymap:
xmodmap "$HOME/.Xmodmap"
# Applications you want to run with fluxbox.
# MAKE SURE THAT APPS THAT KEEP RUNNING HAVE AN ''&'' AT THE END.
#
# unclutter -idle 2 &
# wmnd &
# wmsmixer -w &
# idesk &
# And last but not least we start fluxbox.
# Because it is the last app you have to run it with ''exec'' before it.
exec fluxbox
# or if you want to keep a log:
# exec fluxbox -log "$fluxdir/log"
If you need to start applications after fluxbox, you can change the exec fluxbox line above to something like this:
exec fluxbox &
fbpid=$!
sleep 1
{
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr -fg white -bg black &
ipager &
gkrellm2 &
} &
wait $fbpid
So xsetroot, ipager, and gkrellm2 will all be started after fluxbox, after giving fluxbox 1 second to startup.
For more details on what else you can do in this script, see sh(1), or the documentation for your shell.
