Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,
I am new to shell srcipting.

Problem :

I need to write a script which copy the log files from /prod/logs directory based on todays date like (Jul 17) and place it to /home/hzjnr0 directory and then search the copied logfiles for the string "@ending successfully on Thu Jul 17". If this string is not found then a mail will be sent to specific user.

The logs are generated everyday in a /prod/logs directory location and with datestamp like (Jul 10).

Can anyone suggest any logic to implement this?

You can start with reading about globbing, cp, grep and mailx.

Here are few examples to help you start:
The following command will copy all files, name starting with "Jul17" from /prod/logs and paste them in /home/hzjnr0

Code:

$ cp /prod/logs/Jul17* /home/hzjnr0

grep will look for required string in a file.

Code:

$ grep '@ending successfully on Thu Jul 17' filename.txt

mailx will send an email

Code:

$ echo "Test email" | mailx -s "Test Subject" myemail@domain.com

Thanks for your reply, appreciate it.
But i am trying to write a script for doing this. Also my logfiles name didn't start with current date.

They are like a.log, b.log with todays timestamp.
so

Code:

$ cp /prod/logs/Jul17* /home/hzjnr0

is not helping.
Also by

Code:

$ grep '@ending successfully on Thu Jul 17' filename.txt

i can search for one file but i was trying to search for the same string in multiple log files
so this is not resolved the problem.

if any oneliner of find command can be used plz advice.

I have tried this

Code:

find . -name '*.log' -exec cp {} /home/hzjnr0 \;

but this is not copying the files based on today's timestamp.
