Monitor log file and execute command
I would like to monitor a log file using a shell script and as soon as a line with a certain string in it appears I would like to run a program. I have been playing around with doing this using tail -f, but cannot get it to work. I found something similar here:
https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...sing-tail.html
The restriction on this is that the monitoring script needs to be in sh or ash as I am using busybox.
Any hints? Many thanks
