Question I need a Script to read Log string and check date at the same time
I need to check 1 log file, which is logging:
Code:
2014-08-18T09:10:39+02:00 user: XXXXX START FEATURE
2014-08-18T09:10:39+02:00 user: XXXXX FINISH FEATURE

I first need to check that the START FEATURE starts and finish on the same time/date for the same user, which is different each time START FEATURE and FINISH FEATURE is being written. If any of these conditions do not match, I will echo ERROR, otherwise I should echo OK.

How this could be done for a bash script?

What have you tried so far?

Are the START and FINISH in adjacent lines?

Question
I missed something.

The directory from which I should read the log, is dynamic, so it changes during the days,

PATH/DIRECTORY/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/X.log # YEAR, MONTH and DAY are change Dynamically.

START AND FINISH are in different lines, but they have lines between both.

Besides I need to check the time, they should be executed in 1 minute.

To read the START and FINISH strings, I think could use the 'tac' command to read last ocurrence, but need to check last minute (comparing timestamp) ocurrence and reading the correct log from the dynamic directory. How this could be done?

Thanks in advance.
