Usage: cronlog_parserin [-hvl] [-f ]

   h : print this help message
   v : print version
   l : long output
   f : file

 Description:

   Per default cronlog_parserin reads a solaris cron log file from STDIN and
   parses it for Errors which are identified by the string "rc=" and prints
   them in one line to STDOUT:

    cat /var/cron/log | cronlog_parserin

      tofu001 rc=255 CMD: /opt/SUNWfoo/bin/send_trigger_message.sh > /dev/null 2>&1


   Count error records and print a summary:

    cat /var/cron/log | cronlog_parserin | sort | uniq -c 

      2 root rc=1 CMD: /opt/VRTSvcs/bin/start_resource xgdq90 Marginskript euclqsv1
      1 root rc=1 CMD: [ -x /usr/sbin/rtc ] && /usr/sbin/rtc -c > /dev/null 2>&1
      8 tofu001 rc=255 CMD: /opt/SUNWfoo/bin/send_trigger_message.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
   

   Print a long and detailed output:

    cat /var/cron/log | cronlog_parserin -l

      CMD: /opt/SUNWfoo/bin/send_trigger_message.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
      tofu001 25965 c Thu Oct 25 09:40:00 2007
      tofu001 25965 c Thu Oct 25 09:40:00 2007 rc=255


   Read from file:

    cronlog_parserin -l -f /var/cron/log


   Handle very large log files:

   Sometimes the cron log file has not been rotated since installation. Handling very
   huge logfiles will take a lot of time!
   If you want to see the latest error records of your cron log file only, write a small
   shell script around the cronlog_parserin:

      #!/bin/bash

      # search for the first match of "Oct", save line number in $a:
      a=`cat -n /var/cron/log |grep "Oct"|head -1|awk '{print $1}'`

      # count up lines, save into $b:
      b=`wc -l cron.log.2007|awk '{print $1}'`
   
      # because the first CMD line does not include a date string:
      a=$(($a - 1))
     
      # calculate the number of lines
      c=$(($b - $a))
 
      # pipe only wanted lines into cronlog_parserin:
      tail -$c cron.log.2007 | cronlog_parserin

   Rotate your cron log file!

 Hint: 
   If you had a grep -A available under solaris you would not need this script 8-/

 Have Fun!
