Why check for duplicate files if you can avoid producing them in the first place? Try
This little script keeps an LCNT (here: 10) deep cyclic buffer of the lines encountered, and, if the search pattern is matched, prints these buffered LCNT lines, the actual line, and LCNT lines to come. Caveat: if the pattern is encountered again BEFORE the latter have been printed, they will stop, and the cycle starts anew with printing the buffer. You may redirect - immediately in awk itself - the results to individual files belonging to the originals.
The actual file name, when first encountered, adorned with BOL and EOL anchors, is retained in a, say, "control file" and will never be treated again. Feel free to put the "control file" anywhere else. Little drawback: you have to touch the "control file" once before the first run to make sure it exists.
The list of files presented to awk is the lsed directory contents with the "already done files" removed by grep's -v option. The /dev/null empty file serves as a dummy to avoid awk reading from terminal / stdin when no new files exist, and all old files fall victim to this procedure.
Your suggestion is really cool, it does like what you said where it skips the ones that has been parsed before as per the filesdone control file. I tested it and rename one of the file and re-run the same awk and it only does the one that it has not work on before.
It works on Linux but not on Solaris. On Solaris it gives error
I also tried using /usr/xpg4/bin/grep
The only problem with this approach is that while most of the alert_${sid}* are final, one of them isn't. So there will be several alert_${sid}.log.YYYYMMDDHHMM and one current log that is named alert_${sid}.log. So
should parse the others once but should always be parsing alert_${sid}.log. If such is the case, then the search for the current log may or may not always be a duplicate since the CORRUPT string may or may not appear. Not sure if am explaining it correctly, sorry
Hi,
I have attached an output file which is some kind of database file mapping. It is basically like an allocation mapping of a tablespace and its datafile/s.
The output is generated by the SQL script that I found from 401 Authorization Required
Excerpts of the file are as below:
