Thank you so much for responding ... I'll try to work on it this weekend to convert from bash to perl. And good call with the log rotating. :)
If anyone is interested, here is my bash script:
#!/bin/bash
string="connection_input: conn=11"
tail -n 0 -F /var/log/ldap.log | \
while read LINE
do
echo "$LINE" | grep -q $string
if [ $? = 0 ]
then
echo -e "$string found on $HOSTNAME" | mail -s "LDAP authentication on
+ $(hostname)" teamsupport@yourdomain.com
fi
done
But I have to start it with a no hangup script
#!/bin/bash
nohup ./ldap_log_reader.sh 0<&- &>/dev/null &

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
