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.

zgrep

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
