And to add my 2p/2c, check our multitail as an alternative to tail. It adds the ability to split the screen into multiple sections and, possibly more interestingly, allows colour coding and highlighting and has built-in support for regex log item filtering.
The default highlighting rule are OK for general use, but you can easily add new ones through /etc/multitail.conf once the package is installed. I would share mine, but the spamdyke/qmail stuff is all over the place and intermixed with things others won't want, and the resulting file is a bit of a mess. But if anybody really wants it just email me. Rpmforge has a multitail RPM for Centos/RedHat etc. (Christoph: check out /root/shall.sh which I put there for you. But be sure to open the ssh window to a large size -- full screen even - when running it) > -----Original Message----- > From: spamdyke-users-boun...@spamdyke.org [mailto:spamdyke-users- > boun...@spamdyke.org] On Behalf Of Sam Clippinger > Sent: 06 December 2013 17:34 > To: spamdyke users > Subject: Re: [spamdyke-users] Basic script writing help please > > If it were me, I would probably do it this way instead: > tail -f */spamdyke |\ > sed -e "/^$/d" -e "/==$/d" -e "/TIMEOUT/d" -e "/ERROR/d" -e > "/BLACKLIST_NAME/d" -e "/RDNS/d" -e "/RBL/d" |\ > awk '{ print $6 " " $8 " " $10 " " $12 " " $14 }' > > That way, there's only one copy of sed running continuously instead of 15. > Using awk would also let you reorder the different fields or change the > spacing between them if you want to.
