Hi, Looking to create a flow control based on a string or pattern matched in a log file. The log file may contain either of these 1 CONFSUCCESS 2 CONFFAIL 3 CONFPARTIAL Example: cat System.log dsfasdfasfas adfsfasfa safafaf sdfaasfsa CONFSUCCESS adsfasdfadsfadsf fafasfasdfasdf fafasfafsa sadfafasfasdfadss fdsafadff fasfadfaf asff So idea is to grep the message from log, based on pattern run a flow control as below. if 1 Look in System.log - CONFSUCCESS - show message as - SUCCESSFUL - Ask user to - Press ENTER to continue if 2 Look in System.log - CONFFAIL - show message as - FAILURE - Exit (come out of shell) if 3 Look in System.log - CONFPARTIAL - Show message as - PARTIALSUCCESS - Exit (come out of shell) Thanks
