Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

Below is my issue which I desperately need and I want a shell script which can do this job.

I need this script as I m planning to put this for a system health check. Please assist me.

1. There are 10 log files in a particular location.

2. open each log file. Goto to the end of the file. From the end go up to find a particular text. From this particular text till the end of the log search for another particular text.

3. if the particular text exists in the file return the file name(s) as the output.

Please help me with the script. Thanks a lot to all.

Thanks and Regards
Shriram

I think you're question is worded strangly, but based on what I think you want:

Code:

awk '
  /find1/ { P = 1 }
  P && /find2/ { print FILENAME; P = 0; nextfile}
' file*

Replace file* with your list of filenames, and find1 and find2 based on what you're looking for.

I agree the request is hard to understand but I think what is needed:

Code:

awk '/pattern 1/ {line1=FNR} 
                   /pattern 2/ {line2=FNR} 
                   END { if(line1 < line2) 
                             {print FILENAME}
                           }'  *.logfile > reportfile

where pattern1 is the first text pattern to find and pattern2 is the second pattern.

Oh, I see what you mean.

Thanks a lot for your help, support and time. I will try this command and will get back shortly. Once again Thanks a LOT.
