1. Nagios can watch for log messages, plus it handles different work
shifts, can send SMS, suppress dupes, etc.
2. logwatch (match pattern, send mail) + procmail (execute command).
3. use own lightweight solution (untested):
logname=/path/to/logfile/logname
mailrecip=2...@example.com
interval=60 # check interval inseconds
command='echo "$text" | mail -s "Warn: trouble in $logname @`hostname`"
$mailrecip'
while true; do
text=`grep '^.*regex.*$' $logname`
if [ "X$text" != X ] ; then
eval $command
# truncate logfile so you don't re-report every $interval secs
> /path/to/logfile/logname # or run logrotate?
fi
sleep $interval
done
