no :)
its some java thing written by our development dept., i dont think theyd want to change it.. plus not really necessary either..
i followed suggestions here and here's the solution i came up with (used localtime instead of gmtime, gmtime() didnt return correct time)
use File::ReadBackwards;
use POSIX "strftime";
my $success;
my $items;
my $earliest = POSIX::strftime( "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", localtime( time()
+ - 30 * 60 ) );
$bw = File::ReadBackwards->new( '/var/log/mmsagent/mmsagent.log' ) or
die "can't read '/var/log/mmsagent/mmsagent.lo
+g' $!" ;
while ( defined( my $log_line = $bw->readline() ) ) {
last if $log_line lt $earliest;
if ($log_line =~ /STATUS = SUCCESS/) {
print $log_line;
}
}
works perfect, only prints out the relevant lines if they happened within half an hour ago. much thanks to everyone involved for their help!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
