Ditto here. When I've needed a way to parse logs for error conditions I've
simply written a Kix script (www.kixtart.org) to do the job and have it
return an errorlevel. The only downside I've found is that if the
application producing the logs doesn't role them over/purge them/archive
them quickly then whatever error condition you are checking for may still
exist for a period of time after you've responded and resolved the problem.
This, however, could be resolved by writing a more complex script than a
simple "if error exist exit with errorlevel 'blarg'" or having it perform
some action on the log file itself.
Cheers,
Anthony

I use an external check (kix script) to check our faxing application log
files for a string that then returns an error condition. The only real
reason I went that way is that it was fairly easy to implement and kix
has built in 'macros' to cover dates etc which can be fairly easily
re-arranged.
