1) There is only one file to be scaned

2)This file will be scaned after every 1 hour.

3) Let us suppose we scan the file right now . And suppose this gives us a count of ERROR as 5 . We will assume this as initial count.

4) After 1 hour we will scan the same log file once again. Let us suppose this gives the count as 10. Now we have to compare this 10 with the last count 5 .

5) Now "10" is the final count and the "5" is the initial count.

6) In the next scan , "10" will become initial count and some new number will become the final count.

7) As we created the "a.log" file earlier. I want to move "10" to this "a.log". So, that I can compare in the below mention way

Code:
 
#!/bin/sh
if [  ! -f a.log ]; then
   touch a.log
iCOUNT=`a.log | wc -l`
fCOUNT=`grep -c ERROR b.log`
if [ ${fCOUNT} -gt ${iCOUNT} ]; then
   echo "1"
else
   echo "0"
fi
$fCOUNT > a.log
else
iCOUNT=`a.log | wc -l`
fCOUNT=`grep -c ERROR b.log`
if [ ${fCOUNT} -gt ${iCOUNT} ]; then
  echo "1"
else
  echo "0"
fi
fi


a.log will have only the number . I guess I am making a mistake in

iCOUNT=`a.log | wc -l`

Please Advice

mlm

FBB::mlm(3bobcat)                                             OFoldStream manipulator                                            FBB::mlm(3bobcat)

NAME

       FBB::mlm - Manipulator modifying left margins of OFoldStream objects

SYNOPSIS

       #include <bobcat/ofoldstream> or
       #include <bobcat/ofoldstreambuf>
       Linking option: -lbobcat

DESCRIPTION

       The  mlm  class  implements  a  manipulator that can be inserted into OFoldStream objects to modify the stream's left margin by a requested
       amount. The request cannot result in a negative left margin value. If a negative left margin would be the arithmetic result of the  request
       then left margin 0 will silently be used.

       Depending  on  the  tab-setting  of  the  OFoldStream  the  inserted value represents the number of blank space characters or the number of
       tab-characters that will be added to the left margin.

       The request will be processed at the next newline character or std::flush or std::endl manipulator that is inserted into the stream.  If  a
       line  is  still empty once an mlm object and a flush manipulator are inserted into the stream then the new left margin will be effective at
       the next word inserted into that line (cf., the example section below)

       A bad_cast exception is thrown when the manipulator is inserted into an ostream that is not using a OFoldStreambuf buffer.

               out << "hello world (left margin is 0)" << mlm(4) << "
"
                      "this uses a 4 character wide left margin
" <<
                       mlm(-10) << flush <<
                       "left margin -6 changed to 0, active on this line
