You can use something as follows from a command line:
Code:
egrep -w 'error|warn|critical|fail' /var/log/syslog.log>/dev/null && echo "Error found" || echo "No error found" Code:
#!/bin/bash
warn_us(){
echo 'Error found' | mail -s 'Error' you@example.com
}
egrep -w 'error|warn|critical|fail' /var/log/syslog.log>/dev/null && warn_us
Code:
@hourly /path/to/above/script.sh
