Hello,
why i have to use :
tail -f ./*.log | while read LINE ; do
if ` echo $LINE | cut -f1 -d' ' ` = 'ORA-' ....
but can't use :
tail -f ./*.log | grep ORA-
"I feel stupid .... " :(
I thought that tail would read *.log file and send in to the standard
output, then grep will "catch" it and perform search. but it doesn't work as
expected.
Please advise.
Thank You
Andy
