Could you store a 'previous last line' value somewhere to use between runs? That way you could:-
- Copy the log file to a temporary directory (to get a fixed file to work with)
- Read the 'previous last line' value from your stored location
- Count the lines in your copied file.
- If the count is lower, you have rotated the log file, so set the 'previous last line' value to zero to read the whole file.
- If the count was larger, read from the 'previous last line' value to the end of the file looking for the error message being logged.
- Store the new 'last line' value in a file somewhere for the next run.
- Tidy up your temporary file/directory.
Would that logic work for you?
Let us know if that helps, is totally wrong or if you get stuck.
I hope that this helps,
Robin

NAME
yasr (Yet Another Screen Reader) - is an attempt at a lightweight, portable screen reader.
SYNOPSIS
yasr [ -C config file ] [ -c ] [ -s synthesizer ] [ -p synthesizer port ] [ program arg1 arg2 ... argN ]
DESCRIPTION
yasr is a lightweight, portable screen reader. It works by opening a shell in a pty and intercepting all user input/output, maintaining a
window of what should be on the screen by looking at the codes and text sent to the screen. It only requires that the user be able to
access the text to speech (TTS) device.
yasr was originally designed in conjunction with a Speak-out TTS device. Yasr also attempts to support DEC-Talk, DoubleTalk, Apollo, and
ViaVoice Outloud, but more work is needed to get these to work fully. It may be able to work with Emacspeak servers, however.
Currently yasr has two sets of keymaps, one for "review mode" (ie, reviewing the screen) and one for the standard mode. Keys defined for
the standard mode are checked irrespective of whether the user is in review mode or standard mode, but the review mode keymap is checked
first in the former case.
OPTIONS
-C config file
The configuration file that yasr should use.
-c Attempts to emulate bash's -c command. It runs /bin/sh, passing it the arguments that were passed to yasr.
-s synthesizer
The TTS synthesizer to use in conjunction with yasr.
-p synthesizer port
The port that the TTS synthesizer is connected to.
yasr will also fork and exec a program to run, if it (and any optional command line arguments it needs) are given as the last command line
arguments.
