I am also having troubles to get what you want but could something like this be a start?

Here comes the example file:
Code:
Date:Warning: client clientname1, grp groupname1, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname3, db dbname3,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname4, db dbname4,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname1, grp groupname1, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname4, db dbname4,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname4, db dbname4,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname3, db dbname3,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname3, db dbname3,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname2, grp groupname2, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname1, grp groupname1, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname1, grp groupname1, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname3, db dbname3,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname3, db dbname3,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname2, grp groupname2, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname2, grp groupname2, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname1, grp groupname1, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname4, db dbname4,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname1, grp groupname1, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname2, grp groupname2, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname3, db dbname3,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname4, db dbname4,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname2, grp groupname2, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname3, db dbname3,(sometext)
Date:Warning: client clientname2, grp groupname2, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname2, grp groupname2, sometext
Date:Warning: client clientname3, db dbname3,(sometext)

Counting the occurence per client:
Code:
awk -F" |," '{_[$3]+=1} END{for(a in _){print a,_[a]}}' infile
clientname2 7
clientname3 8
clientname4 5
clientname1 6

Now you would like to compare this with a file you've written 5 mins ago?
