script to match statement from a file
All,

I am trying to write a script which will match the statement from one log file and then proceed for other commands mention in the script.

for my application, backup is schedule to run every day at particular time and creats a log file "/var/adm/backuplog".
if backup completes then last line of this log file will be as below if backup completes on 19th aug
"08/19/2011 11:57:53 Backup has been completed."

this log file is incrimental file, so we can find "Backup has been completed" statement multiple times but with 19th date only one.

Now I want to write a script to check backup completed or not and my require file has been backedup or not. this script will match the last line with current date from the backuplog file. if this script finds that last line says "Backup has been completed" with current date then it will proceed further to check other commands or it will send mail saying that "Either backup has been failed or it is still running"

Could any one please help me, how to write this script?


Thanks,
Anshu

bdb.db0

BDB.DB0(5)							AFS File Reference							BDB.DB0(5)

NAME
       bdb.DB0, bdb.DBSYS1 - Contain the Backup Database and associated log

DESCRIPTION
       The bdb.DB0 file contains the Backup Database, which records configuration information used by the AFS Backup System along with cross-
       indexed records of the tapes created and volumes dumped using the Backup System commands.

       The bdb.DBSYS1 file is a log file in which the Backup Server (buserver process) logs each database operation before performing it. When an
       operation is interrupted, the Backup Server replays the log to complete the operation.

       Both files are in binary format and reside in the /var/lib/openafs/db directory on each database server machine that runs the Backup
       Server.	When the Backup Server starts or restarts on a given machine, it establishes a connection with its peers and verifies that its
       copy of the bdb.DB0 file matches the copy on the other database server machines. If not, the Backup Servers use AFS's distributed database
       technology, Ubik, to distribute to all of the machines the copy of the database with the highest version number.

       Use the commands in the backup suite to administer the Backup Database. It is advisable to create a backup copy of the bdb.DB0 file on tape
       on a regular basis, using the UNIX tar command or another local disk backup utility.
