Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to read specific line of text from a Script and send email notification Post 302495923 by DGPickett on Friday 11th of February 2011 03:15:19 PM

Code:
 
#!/usr/bin/ksh
 
while [ 1 ]
do
 sleep 60
 if ( grep -q 'this is the text' bpm.log )
 then
   date|mailx -s it-in-there you@your_email_host 
   exit
 fi
done
 
or more terse and low cost:
 
if ( tail -f bpm.log | grep -q 'this is the text' )
then
  date|mailx -s it-in-there you@your_email_host 
fi
