Hi,

I wrote this little script that greps the Exim log for incomplete
transaction, removes duplicate domains, displays the last 250 with line
numbers and updates every 15 seconds.

#!/bin/bash

while true
do
        grep "incomplete transaction" /var/spool/exim/log/mainlog |
egrep -o "<.*>" | sed "s/[<>]//g" | nl > incomplete_transaction
        sort -u -t @ -k 2 incomplete_transaction > file
        sort -n -k 1 file > incomplete_transaction
        tail -n 250 incomplete_transaction
        sleep 15
done

Hope that might help somebody. If you see an improvement please comment.

Craig
