Ok,
Sorry if my initial explanation has caused any confusion,..
Will explain the situation again..

1.We have process that generates log files every time it runs.
2. This process some time errors out and the error messages are written to these log files.
3. The requirement is to grep these log files for the string "OutOfMemory".
4. We are planning to generate a script which will grep these strings in log files
and send us an o/p with the log file name.

We have an sed to grep for the string,which will provide the logfile name.but we need to schedule an alert every fifteen minutes, to check if the error was reported in any of the log files generated in last 15 minutes.

@Jim - Yes these log files have time stamp associated with them.
