Shell Programming and Scripting

HI,
In our project daily we need to check for some errors in around 45-50 folders. Please let me know if there is any utility tool using which 1 can check each folder and file for error.
Use: Monday we are checking if there were any error in files generated on Monday
Tuesday to Wednesday we need to check if there are any files created on previous day with the error.
Please let me know if there is any tool or utility in unix to check this that we can run daily to extract the error data

Hi,

What generates the errors and how do you check the files/folders just now?

Regards

Dave

Hi Dave,

our process are running and they are developed in such manner that they create errorfile.txt in error folder of that process.
I can write shell script to monitor each and every folder.but wanted to know if there is any tool using which we can check this instead of writing script.

Please let me know if my requirement is not clear

Hi Ankush,

It seems that there may be a requirement to write your own scripts here, in general all my scripts log to a single error log, which is generated one per day so it is easy for me to see what failed and when.

But if each "process" generates an "errorfile.txt" in a different location, then you will I fear have to write a specifi script to check for that.

Dave

Thanks Dave.
Will write script... there is no utility or tool using which we can check that.

grep -c regex folder ?

Hi,

As I said, I have a single log file which all my scripts log to. So I don't have this issue, perhaps rather than write a script that would have to be continually edited - you may want to look at implementing a more considered methodology.

Dave
