Code:

#!/bin/ksh
file="/tmp/filename"
MAILCMD="mail -s"
EMAILGR="emailaddress"
echo "The total count for the month of Aug 2011 is  --->"
cut -d' ' -f1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 $file | grep -i "Aug" | grep -i "search keyword" | wc -l

I was able to output the keyword for the whole month using the above command. My approach was:
a. I split the log file to view only certain columns using cut command
b. I did a grep for the month and also a grep for the keyword for the count and finally wc -l to count the number of occurence!

Now, I am planning to use this same command for all the months!

I think we can make use of some kind of loop or whatever to make this more simpler and easier but unfortunately I do not have that kind of programming skill to come up with this kind of script in a short time!

At this point this script satisfies my current requirement. Any additional suggestions will be helpful to refine this script further!

SYNOPSIS

     apropos [-d] keyword ...
     whatis [-d] keyword ...
