worked like a charm! Thanks so much.

Wow! This is some potent stuff. I am going to try this. First I will read up on "sed". Will let you guys know the results.

any way to do this without relying on the time stamp? I ask because some of the events happen so quickly that they share the same time stamp.

files grow to about 1megabyte. How do I escape this command once I start it? Thanks allot. Will try this.

The events in the circular file have a time stamp. A typical circular file with a wrap over looks like this:

03/11/09 15:00:00 blablabla <=== beginning of circular file
03/11/09 15:01:00...

I have an event log which is a circular file. I would like to be able to see real-time updates of that event log. Kind of the equivalent of a 'tail -f'. But obviously 'tail -f' won't work if my...

The following worked for me. Thanks to all.

x=

x=$1"_"$2

nawk -v d="${x}" '{ if($1"_"$2 >= d) {print $1 " " $2 " " $3 " " $4 " " $5}}' /path/filename.log | grep -c FF

01/23/09 08:24:19:09 STRIP 3 LOW
01/23/09 08:24:19:09 treadle_data = L4^M...

thanks guys. the following worked for me:

egrep -c FT `ls -rt *.log | tail -n 1`

The program that is running on my machine generates log files. I want to be able to know the number of lines that contain "FT" in the most recent log file. I wrote the following, but it always...

my shell is "sh".

I guess I can turn that into a function in the following way..

Last50()
{
tail -n 50 < /var/traffic_log.log}

But I believe this function will only be available during the session. Right? ...

I want to create a function that outputs the last 50 lines of a process's log. So say my function is called "Last50" and I want to see the last 50 lines for a process called "Traffic". I guess the...

Hi,

I am running Sco Unix v3.2B. I want to know how can I store a function I create so I can use it later simply by just calling it from the command prompt. Sorry if I am asking such a noob...
