Shell Script to Search Log Files
To examine a specific information in a log using a shell script, you can use the grep command to filter out the lines containing that specific information. Below is an example shell script:
#!/bin/bash
log_file="/path/to/logfile.log"
search_term="your_search_term"
grep "$search_term" "$log_file"
In this script, the path of the log file and the information to be searched are stored in variables, then the grep command is used to search for lines containing the specified information in the log file. The script can be saved as a .sh file and run in the terminal to view specific information in the log.
