i am trying to parse the logs from SystemOut.log file and emailing it to my email address ,and i am not able to. Can anyone help me with this....

i tried creating this :
#!/bin/sh
echo " " > /SystemOut.log
for i in 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
do
shellscript1 -parameter >> /SystemOut.log
sleep 10
done
line=`cat /SystemOut.log | grep 'manik' | wc -l`
echo $line
if [ $line -eq 0 ]
then
echo " "| mail -s "That's the subject" email@email.com
else
cat SystemOut.log | grep 'manik' | mail -s "Did not match the pattern" email@email.com

fi
exit 0

I think you need cat /SystemOut.log here.

why cat then grep, why not grep 'manik' file? which is faster?
grep 'manik' "$file_name" >/dev/null 2>&1
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
mail -s "no match" ***@***.com
