Question Shell Script or perl help. to write sections of a log to a tmp file for mailing


Hi,

I am using tripwire to report on my servers.

Some of my reports are over 2MB in size, I need to extract on the sections of the report that are relevant to me, and have them mailed.

Eg: Extract of current report.
Code:
Report generated by:          root
Report created on:            Mon Feb  2 07:30:00 2009
Database last updated on:     Never

Using grep -n and wc I managed to get the line number of Rule summary then -1 of the wc to get the line number for the title, I then used tail -n of total number of lines - title
this gives me everything to the end of the log.

I would then have to do a similar process again to find the section I do not want and use head.

But there must be an easier way to do this or a more efficient to get the data as there are several sections I want and this method seems cumbersome.

Code:
#!/bin/bash

TRIPWIRE=`/opt/tripwire/sbin/twprint`
REPORT=/opt/tripwire/reports
HOSTNAME=`hostname`.twr
LOG=/tmp/tripwire.tmp

/opt/tripwire/sbin/twprint -m r -r ${REPORT}/${HOSTNAME} | grep "Total" >${LOG}

NUM_LINES=`/opt/tripwire/sbin/twprint -m r -r ${REPORT}/${HOSTNAME} | wc -l`

START_NUM=`/opt/tripwire/sbin/twprint -m r -r ${REPORT}/${HOSTNAME} | grep -n "Rule Summary:"|awk -F\: '{ print $1 }' `

TOTAL_LINES=`expr ${NUM_LINES} - ${START_NUM} + 2`
#echo $NUM_LINES $START_NUM $TOTAL_LINES
/opt/tripwire/sbin/twprint -m r -r ${REPORT}/${HOSTNAME} |tail -n ${TOTAL_LINES} >> ${LOG}
mail -s "${HOSTNAME} Report" user@domain < ${LOG}


Cheers

I am not familiar with perl, but I would think sed might be able to help out.

If you can do without that first line of equal signs, I think the following would work for you

Code:
sed -n "/^Rule Summary:/,/^Total violations found:/p"
(Pipe, redirect and/or name the input file on the command line as necessary.)

If you really need that first line of equal signs I would suspect a little sed script could be devised. You might want to look in particular at sed's h command (which copies current line into the hold space).
