help with email to be triggered based on fatal error detection from batch run log file neded

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I require need help in two aspects actually:

1) Fatal error that gets generated as %F% from a log file say ABClog.dat to trigger a mail. At present I manually grep the log file as <grep %F% ABClog.dat| cut-d "%" -f1>. The idea is to use this same logic to grep the log file which is present in $ABC_log directory.

2) How to create a mail that can be triggered. As far as I know the mailing abilities are enabled.

I use PUTTY to access the unix environment (maintained in solaris), and use a generalized login username (eg: f00_mgr). If the script can be run from $HOME to get the fatal error's and mail it would be great. I am kind of very new to the scripting in Unix so any help in sample codes or even the whole would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

You can try this:

#!/usr/bin/ksh
mRC=$(grep -c '%F%' ABClog.dat)
if [[ "${mRC}" != "0" ]]; then
  <send your mail here>
fi
