Short Program for Checking Server date
Hi Guys,

Good morning! I have a file which looks something like this:
Code:
Command was launched from partition 0.


------------------------------------------------
Executing command in server server3
Thu Jan 12 11:10:39 EET 2012


------------------------------------------------
Executing command in server backup-server
Thu Jan 12 11:10:39 EET 2012


------------------------------------------------
Executing command in server server2
Thu Jan 12 11:10:39 EET 2012


------------------------------------------------
Executing command in server server1
Thu Jan 12 11:10:42 EET 2012


------------------------------------------------
Executing command in server server0
Thu Jan 12 11:10:42 EET 2012

You see that the text highlighted in red are all the same which means that each server's time is correct and consistent.

Can anyone help me on how to create a program which will automatically check for each line (per server entry) corresponding to time and will prompt the user if one or more of the server's date is not parallel with the correct system time.

This is my script below (but I don't know how to included the if condition adn where to parse each line of file):
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh

awk '
/Executing command in server/ {curr_server=$NF}
/Executing command in server/ { if ($5~/backup-server/) { host="HOST1" }
else if ($5~/server0/) { host="HOST2" }
else if ($5~/server1/) { host="HOST3" }
else if ($5~/server2/) { host="HOST4" }
else if ($5~/server3/) { host="HOST5" }}
/EET/ { if (???) { printf ("\033[41;37mERROR! Incorrect date in %s/%s, %s.\033[0m\n", curr_server, host, $0);got_err=1 }}
END {if (got_err!=1) {print "\033[42;30mDATE Status = OK\033[0m"}}' /tmp/DATE_Output.debug

Thanks!

br,

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
