Hey! You and Douglas are right. :) I just remembered wrong. Last time I
fiddled with that I not only wanted to combine tail -f with grep but to
let this run unattended and let the output redirect into a separate log
file. Something like:
tail -f $LOGFILE | grep "$EXPRESSION" >> $GREPPED.LOGFILE
This does not work. Or do you know a solution for that? I know there are
tools available for this task, to react on defined log events.
