Need help to search strings every 15 minutes

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I have written a script which will search logfiles directory particular two strings and send a message to user to kill the process id if string found every 15 minutes

Note::dont have cron tab access(Auto run every 15 minute)

oS--AIX

Please add script search the PID into logfile "My PID is: 123456" and kill that process ID
Please find the attached sample files

#!/usr/bin/ksh                                                                            
while true
do
day=`date +%a`
time=`date +%H%M`
str1 = "bad Parm"
str2 = "wrong parm"
cd sri
if [  $day = "Mon" -o $day = "Tue" -o $day = "Wed" -o $day = "Thu" -o $day = "Fri" ] ;
then
        if [ $time -gt 0700 -a $time -le 0900 ]; then
           grep -e "$str1" -e "$str2" *.log
           mail -s "Alert" "sri123@gmail.com"
        else
           echo "Exit successfully"            

        fi
done

below is the sample of
*.log file contains

 Server mapping to server section and picking a place to call home...

date can't be a correct date

while true
do
   day=`date +%a`
   time=`date +%H%M`
   str1="bad Parm"
   str2="wrong parm"
   cd sri
   if [  $day = "Mon" -o $day = "Tue" -o $day = "Wed" -o $day = "Thu" -o $day = "Fri" ]
   then
      if [ $time -gt 0700 -a $time -le 0900 ]
      then
         ls -1 *.log 2>/dev/null | while read log
         do
            grep -i -e "$str1" -e "$str2" $log && {
               mail -s "Alert" "sri123@gmail.com"
               pid=$(grep " PID.*:" $log | head -1 | sed 's/ *$//; s/.* //;')
               [[ -n "$pid" ]] && kill -9 $pid
            }
         done
      else
         echo "Exit successfully"
      fi
   fi
   sleep 900
done

I'm afraid repeated cd sri will try to step down a non-existing directory structure...

HI Rudic,'

Thanks for ur quick response i was just excuting the script output as below sorry instead of kill cmd i added echo for display pid but the script is showing else part
exit successfully but the output should be send a mail to user and display the PID

+ true
+ set = xv
date +%a
++ date +%a
+ day=Thu
date +%H%M
++ date +%H%M
+ time=1036
+ str1='bad Parm'
+ str2='wrong parm'
+ cd /home/rkd/Desktop
+ '[' Thu = Mon -o Thu = Tue -o Thu = Wed -o Thu = Thu -o Thu = Fri ']'
+ '[' 1036 -gt 0700 -a 1036 -le 0900 ']'
+ echo 'Exit successfully'
Exit successfully
+ sleep 900

OUTPUT:if it search strings any of .log files then send a alert message to users and display the pid from that logfile so that users can kill the process or script it self kill the process

1.Should it run auto without any execution and what is the extention .ksh or no need to add .ksh ?
2.should i add shebang line

What exactly are unhappy about? The time variable is 1036 and it fails the test to fall between 7:00h and 9:00h. The message given is a bit unfortunate, but the execution is as programmed - mayhap not as intended.

  1. What do you mean by "run auto without any execution"? An extension is NOT needed.
  2. shebang is fine but not compulsory.

Thanks a lot to help me find the issue will it run every 15 min interval ?If will change the time variable
