Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
i need a script to find words "error,jbase,voilation,segmentation" from a file(verify.txt) and if got any of the above words then send an email and if wont find any then execute the cron job. every time it read file verify.txt it must first clear the previous data in the file .

Kindly Help as this script is very important for me .

Thanks in advance

man egrep

hint: egrep '(base voilation|error|segmentation)' file

If your verification tool doesn't really misspell "violation", you will need to spell it correctly, of course. (^:

Hi,
actually our objective is to execute 2 commands at application level .

1st to verify the application archieve that archieve wont have any error if not then rsyn the archieve files to another location .

Here is the detail scenario for u .

a process name jlogdup (application level) need to be executed and redirected to a text file named logdup.verify.txt and then from this file script need to find below words "JBASE" , "ERROR" , "Segmentation" , "Voilation" if found then do noting else rsync the archieve to other location (DR) on another machine.

How nice of you to tell us this. And you want somebody to write the script for you ...?

Code:

jlogdup >logdup.verify.txt
if ! egrep '(spell|things|correctly)' logdup.verify.txt; then
  rsync
#else
  # echo "$0: found the strings above; we now go 'eek'"
fi

If you don't want the file for other purposes then by all means simply jlogdup | egrep

If it's properly written it might even send its error messages to standard error, not standard output, in which case you obviously need a bit of redirection.
