Why not just write an appender that can be configured to look for the log pattern(s) you want and send an email when it sees it. Do this instead of a tool to trawl/grep through the log files. There is nothing that says an appender has to write to a file; it can do whatever it wants with the log event/message. -Mark -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
