Thank you, each one is great.
Now onto next riddle,
Email logs record time in the following example format.
day hour

Even if I run a cron to check the log file every 5 min or 3 min, I might miss the last 3 or 5 mins, ( I if use time parameter in the script to check logs only for the current hour, say with date command ) , because the last part of time will contain ( say 9:00 , after 8:55 )
Any ideas how to use the system time, as well not missing any line in the log file for last 1 ( or look like check, every last 2 hours log is better ) due to time factor.
