Hi,

The script also failed because it actually catches the exception
"Error while reading from socket"

Basically I want to ignore this error "Error while reading from socket" and the script should alert me for any other errors apart from this

Moving the thread to top

Do not bump posts.

Do not double post.

If we do not reply to your thread immediately, wait! We are not 'on call'.

vgersh's solution was working backwards I think, and had an unneeded 'exit' which stopped it from working -- otherwise his idea is sound:

Code:

logfile="/tmp/application.log"
if awk '/ERROR/ && !/Error while reading from socket/ { _e=1 } END { exit !_e}' $logfile
         echo "found- send email"
else
         echo "not found"
fi

Sorry about that, perfectly worked!!! thanks so much again!!
