Before I even attempt this, is it possible to grep for a pattern, maybe a partial sentence like "go to page 3", assign that to a variable and then use awk or something to pull out the 3 and assign it to a variable? So first I would have Gotopg = "go to page 3" then page = 3

backupninja.conf

BACKUPNINJA.CONF(5)						backupninja package					       BACKUPNINJA.CONF(5)

NAME

       BACKUPNINJA.CONF - Configuration file(s) for backupninja (1).

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/backupninja.conf

DESCRIPTION

       backupninja.conf is the general configuration file. In this file you can set the log level and change the default directory locations.  You
       can force a different general configuration file with "backupninja -f /path/to/conf".

OPTIONS

       loglevel
	      How verbose to make the logs.
	      5 = Debugging messages
	      4 = Informational messages
	      3 = Warnings
	      2 = Errors
	      1 = Fatal errors

       reportemail
	      Send a summary of the backup status to this email address

       reportsuccess
	      If set to 'yes', a report email will be generated even if all modules reported success.

       reportwarning
	      If set to 'yes', a report email will be generated even if there was no error.

       logfile
	      The path of the logfile.

       configdirectory
	      The directory where all the backup action configuration files live.

       scriptdirectory
	      Where backupninja handler scripts are found

       usecolors
	      If set to 'yes', use colors in the log file and debug output.

       when   When to process each configuration file. The value used here will be applied for each configuration file. It is possibile  to  over-
	      ride this "when" in each each configuration file, see also section "Scheduling" in backup.d(5).

	      For example:

		when = sundays at 02:00
		when = 30th at 22
		when = 30 at 22:00
		when = everyday at 01		 <-- the default
		when = Tuesday at 05:00

	      These values for 'when' are equivalent:

		when = tuesday at 05:30
		when = TUESDAYS at 05

	      These values for 'when' are invalid:

		when = tuesday at 2am
		when = tuesday at 2
		when = tues at 02

       vservers
	      If you are using Linux-Vservers (http://linux-vserver.org), there are some special capabilities that different handlers have to make
	      vserver backups easier.  See the example configuration files for each handler to configure the vserver specific variables.

DEFAULTS

       loglevel = 4
       reportemail = root
       reportsuccess = yes
       reportwarning = yes
       logfile = /var/log/backupninja.log
       configdirectory = /etc/backup.d
       scriptdirectory = /usr/share/backupninja
       usecolors = yes
       when = everyday at 01:00
       vservers = no
