Hi Rudic


Your suggestion is really cool, it does like what you said where it skips the ones that has been parsed before as per the filesdone control file. I tested it and rename one of the file and re-run the same awk and it only does the one that it has not work on before.



It works on Linux but not on Solaris. On Solaris it gives error


Code:
grep: illegal option -- f
Usage: grep [-c|-l|-q] -bhinsvw pattern file . . .
awk: syntax error near line 9
awk: bailing out near line 9


I also tried using /usr/xpg4/bin/grep


Code:
awk: syntax error near line 9
awk: bailing out near line 9


The only problem with this approach is that while most of the alert_${sid}* are final, one of them isn't. So there will be several alert_${sid}.log.YYYYMMDDHHMM and one current log that is named alert_${sid}.log. So
Code:
$(ls $DIR_PATH/alert_${sid}* | grep -vf filesdone) /dev/null

should parse the others once but should always be parsing alert_${sid}.log. If such is the case, then the search for the current log may or may not always be a duplicate since the CORRUPT string may or may not appear. Not sure if am explaining it correctly, sorry Smilie

NAME
comm - select or reject lines common to two sorted files SYNOPSIS
file1 file2 DESCRIPTION
comm reads file1 and file2, which should be ordered in increasing collating sequence (see sort(1) and Environment Variables below), and produces a three-column output: Column 1: Lines that appear only in file1, Column 2: Lines that appear only in file2, Column 3: Lines that appear in both files. If is used for file1 or file2, the standard input is used. Options 1, 2, or 3 suppress printing of the corresponding column. Thus prints only the lines common to the two files; prints only lines in the first file but not in the second; does nothing useful. EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables determines the collating sequence expects from the input files. determines the language in which messages are displayed. If is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of determines the language in which messages are displayed. If is not specified in the environment or is set to the empty string, the value of is used as a default. If is not specified or is set to the empty string, a default of ``C'' (see lang(5)) is used instead of If any internationalization variable contains an invalid setting, behaves as if all internationalization variables are set to ``C''. See environ(5). International Code Set Support Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported. EXAMPLES
The following examples assume that and have been ordered in the collating sequence defined by the or environment variable. Print all lines common to and (in other words, print column 3): Print all lines that appear in but not in (in other words, print column 1): Print all lines that appear in but not in (in other words, print column 2): SEE ALSO
