Shell script to delete file if a pattern is found and restart servers
 
Hi,

I have requirement to delete some log files from a directory if a string
"deletethisfile" is found.
Then restart the application servers.

1. Search for the string “deletethisfile” in server.log file under a directory, If found
2. Stop that particular server.
3. Delete the log file
4. Restart the server.

Thanks for your help in advance..

Code:
Pseudo-shell-code:

if grep -q "deletethisfile" $LOGFILE; then
    /etc/init.d/$SERVICE stop
    rm -f $LOGFILE
    /etc/init.d/$SERVICE start
fi
Quite straight-forward...
