Search and Count

[johny2K]

hello there...

i'm trying to automate routine job. i would appreciate any help.

here's how/why:

i got these files daily - accumulated logs per hour, daily. each file resides in the same directory.

fileA
fileB
fileC

i want to search for a specific "log" status; say "down" every hour within each day for each file. but i want it to make count of each "down" status every hour and log it, like something:

A B C . . .
00 xx xx xx
01
02
:
:
23

where x = represents the count of the "down" status (per hour). 00-23 represents the time.

could anyone have same script to do the job?

thanks in-advance.
