Hi drewrockshard.
Your logic describes exactly what i should do to get the desired output.
It looks like when i find the pattern i am looking for in the log file. i should kill the process id of script x as you say,it seems to be the correct way to do this.
The way i was trying to do it was not to log the output of script x to a log, but run the script, wait till i get the pattern i was looking for and kill off the script someway. But you logic seems better
Thanks for the help

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
