Reading Delimited file and send mail with attachment
Hi All,

My requirement is:
1. To read a file that contains log file location and server name. The format of the file is something like this :
server_name1:logfilename1
server_name2:logfilename2

2. Now I wants to grep "error" string from the logfilename and put it into another file for each log.

3. Finally , i would like to send a mail containing as attachement all the files that have captured error string from the logs.

Quote:
The code tried to acheive the above :

IFS=":"
while read SERVER LOGFILENAME
do
ssh $SERVER
grep -i error $LOGFILE > /tmp/"$LOGFILE".txt
exit
done < $FILENAME
Now, the problem is how could i attach all the files in a single mail and send it across.

Thanks,
AR

While not reading the second line
Hi All,

I have used the following code to read the file :

Quote:
#!/bin/ksh
set -xv
IFS=":"
while read SERVER LOGNAME
do
`/usr/local/bin/ssh $SERVER "grep -i error $LOGNAME > $LOGNAME.txt"`
echo " LOG FILE CAPTURED ERRORS." > /tmp/email.txt
uuencode $LOGNAME.txt $LOGNAME.txt >> /tmp/email.txt
done < /tmp/LOGFILE.txt
Tha content of the LOGFILE.txt is :

Quote:
servername1:logfilename1\n
servername2:logfilename2\n
servername3:logfilename3
