COMMANDDUMP – Monitor File for error – Ding if found

November 2, 2017

An Elusive error was occuring that we needed to be notified of immediately.  The fastest way to catch it was to run the following script at a bash command prompt so that when the error happened the script would beep until we stopped it.

while true; do ret=`tail -n 1 error-error-main.log|grep -i FATAL `;if [ “$ret” != “” ] ; then echo $ret; echo -en “\0007”; fi; sleep 1; done
