How to write this script:- check output word and send a mail?
Hi Guys,

I am not Good at scripting.

I need to write a script such that if output of command shows the particular word in output then send mail to abc@compay.com

Code:
-bash-3.2$ ps -ef | grep bpbkar
    root  6040     1   0 13:05:19 ?           0:00 bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47395 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1
    root  6707     1   0 13:05:22 ?           0:00 bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47401 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1
    root  6302     1   2 13:05:20 ?           0:07 bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47403 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1
    root  5869     1   1 13:05:19 ?           0:05 bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47393 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1
    root  6493     1   2 13:05:21 ?           0:08 bpbkar -r 2678400 -ru root -dt 47402 -to 0 -clnt server1-backup-class server1
user1  9186 19295   0 13:05:33 pts/22      0:00 grep bpbkar
-bash-3.2$

in above output if the word server1-backup appears in the out put then it should send mail to abc@company.com that the "Server1 backup still running!"

This is Solaris 10 OS.

Please advise.

Thanks,
Manali.

Code:
if [ `ps -ef | grep bpbkar | nawk '{print gsub(/server1-backup/," ",$0)}'` -eq 1 ]
then
uuencode filename output.log| mailx -s " SUBJECT" -r abc@company.com
fi

if you want condition

Code:
if [ `ps -ef | grep bpbkar | nawk '{print gsub(/server1-backup/," ",$0)}'` -eq 1 ]
then
mailx -s "Server1 backup still running!" -r abc@company.com
fi

i thought you want to send output as attachment,if you want to send a output then useabove statement

Wow! Good info . Let me check.
Thanks a lot.

I guess this how my script should look like

Code:
cat check_backup

#!/bin/bash
# Script to check if Server1 backups still running.

if [ `ps -ef | grep bpbkar | nawk '{print gsub(/server1-backup/," ",$0)}'` -eq 1 ]
then
mailx -s "Server1 backup still running!" -r abc@company.com
fi

Hope this will work on Solaris 10 too.

but honestly I cant understand what does this mean --> nawk '{print gsub(/server1-backup/," ",$0)}'` -eq 1 ]
What is gsub ?

Thanks

gsub replaces all of the longest, leftmost, nonoverlapping matching substrings it can find. The `g' in gsub stands for "global," which means replace everywhere,

So if in your output "server1-backup" word appears it will replace by 1..

so if it equal to 1 means that string is there.

then send mail..
