[nos-bbs] log triggers & shell scripts

[maiko at pcsinternet.ca]

Hi Andrew,

It's your awk statement. IF the start does not find a direct matching
time entry, then nothing is generated, period. If I run the awk manually
at the command line and make sure to specify a starttime in the logfile,
then it dumps the full email. For example :

  Here is the tail end of a logfile on my backup system :

   19:47:22  CONSOLE - ax25 h all +h > archive.heard.txt
   19:53:40  - socket 137 has vanished
   19:55:11  - AT command: source bcteensy.nos+|2290+
    [snip]
   20:44:49  - socket 137 has vanished
   20:45:15  - AT command: ax25 h save+|2308+
   20:50:20  - socket 137 has vanished
   20:53:51  - socket 137 has vanished
   20:55:15  - AT command: source bcteensy.nos+|2304+
   20:55:15  - AT command: source report.nos+|2309+
   20:55:16  - AT command: ax25 h save+|2310+
   20:55:20  - AT command: source bcninotnc.nos+|2307+

  I run the awk portion of your script at the command line, direct to 
stdout,
  omitting the output file, just for testing :

     bash-5.1# awk -v start="19:51" -v end="20:58" '$0 ~ start, $0 ~ end' 
\
       /life/ve4klm/jnos/rte/logs/10Mar25

       NOTHING

     If I use start="19:47" instead, then BINGO, we get output :

       19:47:22  CONSOLE - ax25 h all +h > archive.heard.txt
       19:53:40  - socket 137 has vanished
       19:55:11  - AT command: source bcteensy.nos+|2290+
       19:55:11  - AT command: source report.nos+|2295+
         [snip]

   Also, I had to add +X permission to your sh file and on my
    jnos I have to run it as sh ./last10mins.sh, since '.' is
      not in the path, no big deal.
