Getting last 50 lines after finding a word
Hi All,
I have a requirement as below
I need find for a string in a log file and once i found that string i need to send a mail.Thsi can be done thru grep and mailx cmnd.
Here once i found the string i need to send last 50 lines(up) from where string found.
Actually they require to find out the user name which may be available before 50 lines.
One more thing this script will run every 15 min , i am thinking how to handle if there are multiple cases of these failures
any thoughts or code will be appreciated
Thanks
San
