Yes, the script is run via CRON (every minute)
Yes, it looks for keyword from the "new" part of log file
Yes, I received more than 500 same e-mail, when the same error occured more than 500 times
No of e-mails is proportional to no of (same)error messages, whihc i dont want. (I want only one e-mail if the error is recurring)
Thanks

Consider the following situation
I receive an 4 e-mails if the same error is repeating.
Now imagine the situation with 500 errors (same and continous)
What I'm looking at is, if the script detects the same error as detected earlier (due to continous errors generated by the server), it should not send me an e-mail for the second time. Just one e-mail is enough.
This is just to stop inbox full situation
I guess I still don't understand your requirements. You show four lines above and say you only want one message for those four lines (not four messages), but none of the keywords in either of the egrep commands in your script are in those four lines. So, why should any message be sent?
Let me see if I understand what you're trying to do. You're running your log processor every minute, and you're only looking at new messages in the log file each minute. So, are you saying you want a mail message each minute of the day in which that error is reported? With the sixteen keywords in your 1st egrep (there are only fourteen in the 2nd egrep) do I correctly understand that you're OK getting 16 messages each minute for each minute of the day (for a maximum of 23,040 messages in your mailbox each day) as long as no two messages sent by any invocation of your log checker contain the same keyword? Are the lines that you show above supposed to generate mail messages or not? (As I said before, none of your keywords are present in those lines.)
Why are you counting sixteen keywords as errors but only sending e-mail for fourteen of those keywords?

strerr
strerr(1M) System Administration Commands strerr(1M)NAME
strerr - STREAMS error logger daemon
SYNOPSIS
strerr
DESCRIPTION
strerr receives error log messages from the STREAMS log driver (see log(7D)) and appends them to a log file. The resultant error log files
reside in the directory /var/adm/streams, and are named error.mm-dd, where mm is the month and dd is the day of the messages contained in
each log file.
The format of an error log message is:
<seq> <time> <ticks> <flags> <mid> <sid> <text>
<seq> error sequence number
<time> time of message in hh:mm:ss
<ticks> time of message in machine ticks since boot priority level
<flags> T : the message was also sent to a tracing process F : indicates a fatal error N : send mail to the system administrator
(hardcoded as root)
<mid> module ID number of source
<sid> sub-ID number of source
<text> formatted text of the error message
Messages that appear in the error log are intended to report exceptional conditions that require the attention of the system administrator.
Those messages which indicate the total failure of a STREAMS driver or module should have the F flag set. Those messages requiring the
immediate attention of the administrator will have the N flag set, which causes the error logger to send the message to the system adminis-
trator using mail. The priority level usually has no meaning in the error log but will have meaning if the message is also sent to a tracer
process.
Once initiated, strerr continues to execute until terminated by the user. It is commonly executed asynchronously.

STREAMS Programming Guide
NOTES
There is no restriction to the number of strerr processes opening the STREAMS log driver at a time.
If a module or driver is generating a large number of error messages, running the error logger will cause a degradation in STREAMS perfor-
mance. If a large burst of messages are generated in a short time, the log driver may not be able to deliver some of the messages. This
situation is indicated by gaps in the sequence numbering of the messages in the log files.
