I have written a .sh script and use cron to email a log file to my email account on a daily basis. I could easily delete the previous day's log account before the current day's log is created but I wish to have a historical account of the log. Alternatively, I could create two logs: running and daily and delete the daily... But, I started thinking about clipping the last lines of a log and emailing the last lines. For example, the log entries for each day are only 6 lines each. How do you clip lines from a file. The .sh scripts are run as root and root uses the csh shell. I do not have the perl port installed. Is there a shell script/command that would do the job?
