script to read from mail
Hi,

I have a requirement in which I have to read mail from a unix text file and scan records having
failed records (any number > 0)

Firstly it should compare the file creation_date with sysdate
if the dates match then
do the checking for failed records

sample file i/p

Staged 0 records from <file_name> (2 failed)
Staged 0 records from <file_name> (0 failed)
Staged 0 records from <file_name> (0 failed)

09/27 12:45:46 I 0 Error Transactions
09/27 12:45:46 I 0 Error Transactions
09/27 12:45:46 I 0 Error Transactions


code:

var1=`grep -w "0 failed" <file_name>
var2=`grep -w "0 Error" <file_name>
if [[ -n $var1 || -n $var2 ]]; then
..... do something .....
else
..... do something .....
fi;


Is there any way I can do in a single command using sed
including the file date comparison with sysdate ?

qmail-local

qmail-local(8)                                                System Manager's Manual                                               qmail-local(8)

NAME

       qmail-local - deliver or forward a mail message

SYNOPSIS

       qmail-local [ -nN ] user homedir local dash ext domain sender defaultdelivery

DESCRIPTION

       qmail-local reads a mail message and delivers it to user by the procedure described in dot-qmail(5).

       The  message's  envelope  recipient  is local@domain.  qmail-local records local@domain in a new Delivered-To header field.  If exactly the
       same Delivered-To: local@domain already appears in the header, qmail-local bounces the message, to prevent mail forwarding loops.

       The message's envelope sender is sender.  qmail-local records sender in a new Return-Path header field.

       homedir is the user's home directory.  It must be an absolute directory name.

       dash and ext identify the .qmaildashext file used by qmail-local; see dot-qmail(5).  Normally dash is either empty or a lone hyphen.  If it
       is  empty,  qmail-local  treats  a nonexistent .qmailext the same way as an empty .qmailext: namely, following the delivery instructions in
       defaultdelivery.

       The standard input for qmail-local must be a seekable file, so that qmail-local can read it more than once.

OPTIONS

       -n     Instead of reading and delivering the message, print a description of the delivery instructions.

       -N     (Default.) Read and deliver the message.

EXIT CODES

       0 if the delivery is completely successful; nonzero if any delivery instruction failed.  Exit code 111 indicates temporary failure.
