Yeah, I would prefer if the data was written to a log file as well, it would make my life simplier and I wouldnt have needed assistance in figuring out a script to monitor it. However, this is not my script to maintain, I am not even sure what exactly it does, I was just approached with the problem they have, and asked if I could provide a solution. And sorry, yes I am running on an HPUX 11 system, however, there script is on a redhat linux box, but anything I write up should work on their machine. I know how tee works, but the problem is not that they want to see the output as it is being monitored, the problem is that they want to run the script, go home for the night, and if any problems occur, get a page about it. However, when I tried to write a script to watch for what they wanted, it wouldnt work until the input ended. So the end outcome would be that they wouldnt get the page until they came in in the morning and killed the script. | [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |
