Thanks for the reply. Actually we are expecting around 100 logs being recorded in a span of 15 minutes and hence a mail for each would in fact spam the inbox. So we thought of mailing a collection of them at fixed intervals. Any way as you suggested we will rethink about this.
Is it possible to have the log file created date wise using rsyslog?? (Just to ease the process of book-keeping).. Thanks and Regards,K.V.M.

But are you sure you *really* want to have log files mailed every 15 minutes? Think about the mailbox clutter...
