I has to read the word like exception and warning from flat file 4. Name of the file also from flat file How to do this? I have some portion of script also ====================== ($FILENAME)[EMAIL PROTECTED]; $regex = "Exception"; @buffer = (); GetOptions(\%opt, qw(help files=s)) or die "Invalid options.\n"; showHelpMessage() if ($opt{'help'}); open (LOGFILE,"$FILENAME"); for (;;) { for ($cursorposition = tell(LOGFILE); $_ = <LOGFILE>; $cursorposition = tell(LOGFILE)) { $line = $_; chomp $line; push @buffer, $line; if (@buffer > 10) { shift @buffer; } if ($line =~/$regex/) { open (MAILFILE, ">mailfile"); my $oldfh1 = select MAILFILE; $| = 1; select MAILFILE; $j = 0; foreach $previousLine (@buffer) { $j++; print MAILFILE "$previousLine \n"; } $i = 0; $pos = tell LOGFILE; while(<LOGFILE>) { $i++; if ($i > 10) { last; } $var = $_; print MAILFILE "$var \n"; } close(MAILFILE); seek(LOGFILE, $pos, 0); $msg=`cat mailfile`; DoChat($msg); sub DoChat { my @msg = @_; GetIrcConnection("$chatuser","$chatirc"); SendIrc("$chatchannel","$msg"); QuitIrc; } } } sleep(1); seek(LOGFILE, $cursorposition, 0); } sub showHelpMessage { print <<EOF; Usage : ./monotorLogs.pl <LOGFILENAME> The Objective of the Script is to monitor the logs and Capture the error information. Assumption: 1.PERL is installed and Path is set to perl 2.Chat Server Library files present in lib 3.monotorLogs.pl has execute permission Here in the PERL Script we are calling two variable. $FILENAME and $regex $FILENAME --> Log file names to monitor.
