Grep the logfile for sysdate-1
Looking for help.
I need help in the grep ( alternative) to filter out the a keyword from the logfile for a time period of sysdate -1.

My logfile looks like:

Code:
####<Sep 7, 2014 3:46:55 PM PDT>  <Warning> <Management>  <hostname>  <> <[ACTIVE]  ExecuteThread: 
####<Sep 15, 2014 2:51:05 AM PDT> <Warning> <Management> <hostname> <> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: 
####<Oct 10, 2014 3:57:45 AM PDT> <Warning> <Management> <hostname> <> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: 
####<Oct 10, 2014 4:21:57 AM PDT> <Warning> <Management> <hostname> <> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: 
####<Oct 13, 2014 4:00:04 PM PDT> <Warning> <Management> <hostname> <> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: 
####<Oct 13, 2014 4:01:49 PM PDT> <Warning> <Management> <hostname> <> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread:
####<Oct 13, 2014 4:17:04 PM PDT> <Warning> <Management> <hostname> <> <[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread:

Something like :

Code:
cat abc.log |grep -i error ( but with results of the last 1 day only)

Thanks guys in advance

Depending on the system (which you fail to mention) you use, esp. the date command, this might work:
Code:
grep -i "$(date +"%b %_d" -d"-1day").*error" abc.log
