Monitoring log for FATAL in last 15mins only

Hi all,
I need to develop the following script. Could anyone please provide me some inputs.

1) Monitor the system log file (sys.log) for any lines in the parameter file that will contain all the different phrases of FATAL errors that the process has to scan for in the sys.log.

If any FATAL messages are found then an email notification has to be sent.

2) The process should look for errors only from the point of time when the last monitoring took place. For eg; if the first monitoring process ran at 8:00am CT, the next one that runs at 8:15 am should look for these errors from 8:01am time mark

This is how the sys.log looks like:
Code:
May 15 11:10:41 <hostname> xy_updserv[29245]: +++INFO+++ initialization complete
May 15 11:10:48 <hostname> xy_qryserv[29243]: +++INFO+++ initialization complete
May 15 11:10:49 <hostname> xy_qryserv[12345]: RPC: using socket receive timeout of 0 seconds
May 15 11:10:49 <hostname> xy_updserv[13445]: RPC: using socket receive timeout of 0 seconds
May 15 11:12:32 <hostname> xy_qryserv[12343]: +++ERROR+++ Warning: could not load '/abc/az/xyz/file.fe' 
May 15 11:27:21 <hostname> xy_qryserv[10905]: +++ERROR+++ Info: FATAL - data missing
May 15 11:42:19 <hostname> xy_qryserv[731]: +++FATAL+++ initialization failed. Aborting...

This is how the param file looks like:
Code:
+++ERROR+++ Info: FATAL - data missing
+++FATAL+++ initialization failed. Aborting...

Thanks all!!

LEAVE(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  LEAVE(1)

NAME
leave -- remind you when you have to leave SYNOPSIS
leave [[+]hhmm] DESCRIPTION
leave waits until the specified time (within the next 12 hours), then reminds you that you have to leave by writing to the TTY that you exe- cuted leave on. You are reminded 5 minutes and 1 minute before the actual time, at the time, and every minute thereafter. When you log off, leave exits just before it would have printed the next message. OPTIONS
hhmm The time of day is in the form hhmm where hh is a time in hours (on a 12 or 24 hour clock), and mm are minutes. However, all times are converted to a 12 hour clock, and assumed to be in the next 12 hours. An attempt to set an alarm for farther into the future will be truncated to within the next 12 hours. + If the time is preceded by '+', the alarm will go off in hours and minutes from the current time. If no argument is given, leave prompts with "When do you have to leave?". A reply of newline causes leave to exit, otherwise the reply is assumed to be a time. This form is suitable for inclusion in a ~/.login or ~/.profile. SEE ALSO
calendar(1), csh(1), sh(1) HISTORY
The leave command appeared in 3.0BSD. BUGS
In the modern age with X(7) and window multiplexing programs like window(1) and screen(1), the leave command's reminders and admonitions might not be seen if the user has the window where leave was started minimized or obscured. This all begs for a more general user notifications system to be implemented. BSD
