Thank you in advance Lance #/usr/bin/perl #open a file with the filehandle open WORKFLOW, "+<..\\..\\workflow.txt" or die "Cannot open Workflow $!\n"; for(my $i=0; $i<22; $i++){<WORKFLOW>}; #This will put you at row 23.---- $_=<WORKFLOW>; #set the var for the first line my $nextline = <WORKFLOW>; #set the var for the second line my $thirdline =<WORKFLOW>; #set the var for the third line if ((substr($_, 42, 7) eq "Running") and (substr($nextline, 42, 7) eq "Running")and (substr($thirdline, 42, 7)) { open (APPEND, ">>Moniterlog.log") or die "$! error trying to append"; ($sec,$min,$hour,$mday,$mon,$year,$wday,$yday,$isdst)=localtime(time); %weekday=( "0"=>"Sunday", "1"=>"Monday", "2"=>"Tueday", "3"=>"Wednesday", "4"=>"Thursday", "5"=>"Friday", "6"=>"Saturday", "7"=>"Sunday", ); if ($hour> 12) { print APPEND "Successfully Completed Work Flow Moniter $hour:$min\n"; print APPEND 'Substring: '.substr($_, 42, 7); print APPEND "\n"; print APPEND 'Substring: '.substr($nextline, 42, 7); print APPEND "\n"; print APPEND "----------------------------------------------------\n"; } else { print APPEND "Successfully Completed Work Flow Moniter $hour:$min\n"; print APPEND 'Substring: '.substr($_, 42, 7); print APPEND "\n"; print APPEND 'Substring: '.substr($nextline, 42, 7); print APPEND "\n"; print APPEND "----------------------------------------------------\n"; } } else { use Mail::Sendmail; #Send and email if there are errors %mail = ( To => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', From => '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', Subject => '', Message => 'Work Flow ended: '.substr($line, 95, 17) ); sendmail(%mail) or die $Mail::Sendmail::error; print "OK.
