Bash Script Locate Word Failed
I'm using CentOS 7 and I would like to know of a way to read each line and search for a specific word. For example, if it finds the word "Fail" it sends it to a variable, and pipes it to a folder on the network.

What would be the best way in making this work in a Linux environment?
I wrote a script that connects to ESXi host via SSH, and when connection is made to ESXi server, the script runs a command to check RAID 5 hard drive status.

I created cron job to initiate script to run everyday at a certain time and sends me an email displaying RAID 5 disk drive status. I am very satisfied with my results.

Now, I would like to add to my script. So when a hard drive does fail! I can be notified every hour. We have an application on the network, that we can dump text files in and as a result sends an email out every hour.

With that said. I would like new script to read each line and look for the word "fail" and when it finds the word, it will send it to a file on the network.

So far I was able to run a command and locate the word fail. But, I don't know of a way to send results to a file on the network. The command I use is this:

Code:
#find /tmp -type f -name "*.txt" -exec grep -l "failed" {} \+

The reason why I don't want to modify my current script to run RAID checks every hour is because we have more than ten ESXi host servers.

I would not like to receive fifteen emails every hour and look for a failed hard drive.

It's better to receive one email indicating a failed disk drive. I am open to new creative ideas.

uudemon(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							uudemon(4)

NAME

       uudemon.admin,  uudemon.cleanu,	uudemon.hour,  uudemon.poll  -	Administrative shell scripts for polling remote systems, cleaning up spool
       directories, reporting status to the system administrator, and routine invocations of the uuxqt and uusched daemons

SYNOPSIS

       These shell scripts reside in the following directory:
	  /usr/lib/uucp

DESCRIPTION

       All the scripts can be run from the command line or can be run automatically by the cron daemon. To automatically run the  scripts,  remove
       the comment character (#) from the beginning of the relevant line in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs/uucp file.

       This  script  reports  status  to  the system administrator. It issues the uustat command to find out the status of uucp jobs. It mails the
       results to the uucp login ID. The script may be modified to send mail to any login ID such as the uucp administrative login ID  (uucpa)	or
       root.  This script cleans up the /var/spool/uucp and /var/spool/uucppublic directories by running the uucleanup command. The uucleanup com-
       mand is run with the following parameters: -C7, -D7, X2, -o2, -W1.  This script runs the uusched and uuxqt daemons in the background.  This
       script  polls  the  systems  listed  in	the  /usr/lib/uucp/Poll file.  The uudemon.poll script should be scheduled before the uudemon.hour
       script. This allows uudemon.poll to create any command files before cron runs the uudemon.hour script.

FILES

       Contains the uudemon.admin, uudemon.cleanu, uudemon.hour and uudemon.poll files.  Contains the uucp file.

RELATED INFORMATION

       Commands: cron(8), uucleanup(8), uusched(8), uuxqt(1)

       Files: /usr/lib/uucp delim off
