Re: Search logs with crontab

This is overkill, but I think there are some pieces here that you can use. I used temporary and semaphore files.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Fcntl qw(:flock);
use Time::localtime;
$| = 1;

my $logFile = "mainLog.LOG";
my $SEMAPHORE = '~'. $logFile . '.lck';
my $was_awaiting = 0;

sub WRITE_TO_LOGFILE();
sub READ_LOGFILE_FOR_SENDMAIL ();
sub IS_FILE_LOCKED($);
sub TIMESTAMP ();
