Re: how to monitor syslog.log for a certain string and then reboot if it finds it

[Eric PAILLEAU]

Hello,
be carefull that 'match' is regular expression, some characters like ': 
()' are special ones.

I guess you can match only "NETDEV WATCHDOG.*"   or "NETDEV WATCHDOG. 
eth0.*"
(A dot replace any character or may be you can escape  by  \: )


check file syslog.log with path /var/log/syslog.log
  if match "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (e1000e): transmit queue 0 timed 
out" then exec "/sbin/init 6"
