I have a script which will cd into a directory based on current timestamp.
It will then do a grep and search for a condition. It's run on a cron job that runs every 30 minutes. So if it finds a match in 00, it sends out the contents of that grep to an alert and emails out. Now say, 01 comes around and nothing is in that file but the contents of 00 are still alerted and emailed out. I know it's doing that because it's repeating the grep from 00.. Is there a better way to do this grep? I'd hate to create 24 separate cronjobs for the same script based on timestamp.
Your comments are greatly appreciated.

My apologies. I have a cronjob that runs every 30 minutes
pathtoscript.sh consists of the following
##Now on first run if a match is found in say 00 hr, if success it will email contents
When script runs again the next half hr, it will return the same results from 00.
Is there anyway to have the cron run again and not display the 00 output? The only other way i can figure it out is to have the same script but grep for diff hours. But then i would have to duplicate the script many times. Is there any other solution?
