Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script to find, grep and email Post 302238568 by basisvasis on Saturday 20th of September 2008 06:18:06 PM
Old 09-20-2008
After playing for another week, I came up with the following. This script works just fine for me except one small problem, i.e, even if there are no files that are less than 30 mins old, it still sends out an email with the blank body. I know i need a better if and then statement, but just dont have expertise to correct it. Please help out.

#!/bin/sh
# this is myscript.sh
newfile=`find /usr/mysearchpath/ -mmin -30`
grep 'searchstring*' $newfile>/usr/mysearchpathagain/resultsfile
if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
mail -s 'found it' \ email address -t </usr/searchpath/resultsfile
fi

NAME
hmine - a mail message header analyzer. SYNOPSIS
hmine [-vDa] [FILE] hmine -V DESCRIPTION
hmine reads a mail message from FILE or STDIN and outputs a variety of information found in the message headers. The message is expected in Internet mail format (RFC 821,822,2821,2822 or variations thereof). The body is not inspected. EXIT STATUS
On success, hmine returns 1. In case of a problem, hmine returns zero. OPTIONS
-a Print mailboxes and groups found in various header fields, one per line, preceded by the field name. Actual email addresses are always enclosed in '<' and '>' for easy parsing, ie anything not within these delimiters is not part of an email address. Beware that not every line need contain an email address. -D Debug output. -V Print the program version number and exit. USAGE
An invocation looks like this: % hmine email.txt SOURCE
The source code for the latest version of this program is available at the following locations: http://www.lbreyer.com/gpl.html http://dbacl.sourceforge.net BUGS
At present, hmine parses messages but doesn't output anything useful. AUTHOR
