Multiple not statement in AWK
Hi

I have a logfile that do grow large rapid, so I like to create a new one with needed info.
For some reason the tail -d do not like to redirects its output to a file.
Code:
tail -f  /var/log/daemon.log | grep -vE '(snmpd|ntpd)'

gives me real time log of all lines without "snmpd" and "ntpd"
This is what I what.
Code:
tail -f  /var/log/daemon.log | grep -vE '(snmpd|ntpd)' >newlog

Do not work


Code:
tail -f  /var/log/daemon.log | grep -vE '(snmpd|ntpd)' | tee newlog

Do not work


So I found this working solution:
Code:
tail -f log | awk '{if ($1 == "Rough") print $5 | "tee mySecondFile.txt"}'

I did change some to:
Code:
  tail -f daemon.log | awk '{ if (!($0 ~ /snmpd/) || !($0 ~ /ntpd/)) print | "tee newlog"}'

This gives me the oposit of what I whant. All logs with "snmp" and "ntpd"


So I tried this
Code:
 tail -f daemon.log | awk '{ if (!($0 ~ /snmpd/) || !($0 ~ /ntpd/)) print | "tee newlog"}'

Seems to give me all line and does not remove the lines with "snmpd" and "ntpd"


Any idea of how to get this correct?

Thanks, it works. I did get lost in all and not or statement

But new problem.
If I add 3 or more statement, it gives me error et second &&
Code:
tail -f daemon.log | awk '{ if (!($0 ~ /snmpd/) && !($0 ~ /ntpd/) && !($0 ~ /reject/)) print | "tee newlog"}'
                                                                  ^ syntex error

I have a total of 8 statement I do not like to have in my log.

Strange, what OS are you using?
Also, does this work?
Code:
tail -f daemon.log | awk '!/snmpd|ntpd|reject/{print | "tee newlog"}'
