Last 5 minutes from a log file

[zenetko]

I wanted to do a pattern match to select lines inserted in a log file in the last 5 mins. The log files get rotated automatically once they reach a particular size limit and 5 archives are saved. So, there is a posibility that 5 min logs might get split accross two or more files. Considering how could I use awk to achieve the above mentioned. The date format is "Jul 18 02:57:59.447" in the log files.

I was thinking in term of awk to achieve this.
