monitor new logs

I would like to monitor logfile for specific keyword and send email once detected. I'm trying out the code here, the script is scheduled to run every minute. Everytime it runs, the same log will be detected and send email. Anyway it can be improved to detect only new logs?


Code:
tail -f /logfile | while read line ; do

if [[ `echo $line | grep "keyword"` ]]
then
    
     a="`echo $line | grep "keyword"`"
         echo $a "detected"
         email alert
    
fi

done

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
