Script to monitor the syslog.log

Hi,
Is there anyone having the script to monitor the syslog.log

I want to have a script to monitor the syslog for any error, warning and critical message.

Thanks,
Narendra

Shalom,

I write a script that greps for keywords like lbolt which normally indicates a disk failure.

A complete script for the job can be found here.

Its a great script resource.

Hi:

You could simply do:

# grep -iE "error|warn|crit" /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

Regards!
