script problem

[icu812]

I have a script that looks something like this:
It works fine except that I have cron running it every 15 minutes and when my condition is met I get 4 pages. Can someone please tell me how I can have cron run it every 15 minutes and get only one page???? Thank You

spmon -d|awk '{print $2":"$4}' > /tmp/mon_power.out
grep off /tmp/mon_power.out > /tmp/mon_power2.out
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then mail -s &quot;SP node power out msg&quot; icu812@archwireless.net < /tmp/mon_sp_powe
r2.out
mail -s &quot;SP node power out msg&quot; icu812@archwireless.net < /tmp/mon_sp_power2.ou
t
fi

Looks like you are trying to send a single page
to two people.
I think you can consolidate the mail command.
mail -s &quot;SP node power out msg&quot; icu812@archwireless.net;icu812@archwireless.net < /tmp/mon_sp_powe
r2.out

How many pages do you get if you run this script
manually from the command line?

My bad. I think you are supposed to separate
addressees by a comma rather than a semicolon. Robert G. Jordan

I am sending the page to two different people(the pager number you see here is ficticious)I just wanted to know if there was a way I could run the script from cron every 15 minutes but have these people only receiving one page on the occurrence instead of four per hour. thanks

ahhh, now I understand...

I think you want to write the page time
to a log file and only page again
if an hour has elasped since the last
page was sent out.

How do I do that?????????

 

[RobJordan]

I have thought of a simpler solution.

Check the PRIMARY_LOG and page if necesarry.

Append your current log file to a backup log
cat PRIMARY_LOG >> BACKUP_LOG

clear the PRIMARY_LOG
> PRIMARY_LOG

This may work depending on how often your
primary log gets written to.
