Hi,
I can use 'crontabs �e' and do all the scheduling I like. However I would like to auto send myself just the cronjobs logs that fail. That is to say the PIDs that fail and the related lines with those PID�s only. (Not the full set of logs) Has anyone done this work? Or does an AIX 5.3 tool exists that will do this for me? If not I was thinking this could be a nice tool to use 'awk,' but I am not the best at 'awk.' I'm just a hack.
My current filter* only sends me logs when I have errors but it gives me the full set of data at that time, and I have to search for Fail. I copy my file to a tmp and clean up when done. Then I have my rotation set just rigt so I do not spam myself with dup data. PS I have read man for the cron/crontab commands + others and have not seen anything like this yet.
