Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Finding errors in log file only in last 10 minutes Post 302554495 by paul_vf on Monday 12th of September 2011 08:43:31 AM

Hi,

This is good, and does do what I'm after, thanks very much Smilie

However, I was just wondering, how would I change it to print *all* the errors that have happened in the last 10 minutes? The above (if I understand it correctly) will just return the most recent line which is true. (This is fine though, as it will work for my alerting - it'd just be also handy if I knew how many times this error has occurred in the last 10 mins).

Thanks again,
Paul B

Sorry, I think I'm being stupid, that is already what this does, I just appeared to run it on a log file that only had one error in the last 10 minutes...

Sorry!

Thanks again for the help.

Paul B
