The script below is for monitoring the repserver errorlog - it works with any version of repserver and does not need to write to the errorlog itself in order to monitor it. However, since it doesn't write to the errorlog, it does need a $ADMINDIR/control_files/ directory which you may wish to create as a non-transient file (rserrlogmarker.dat) is maintained there. Also, as per the script notes, you can easily modify this script to monitor *any* log; be sure to give rserrlogmarker.dat and the other files in the config section different names or keep them elsewhere so that there is no conflict.

# Script: rs_log_checker.sh
# Author: Bob Holmes - email: cambob@gmail.com
# Date  : 08/05/2008
# Version: 1.1
# Usage : rs_log_checker.sh [v|V] (verbose mode)
# Description: Script for checking the repserver errorlog
# --------------------------
#    ***    Variables for customisation can be found by searching for "!!" ***
# --------------------------
# Modification history:
#
# --------------------------
# Enhancement notes:
# BobH: V1.0: Modified to re-create rserrlogmarker file if not found, then re-run automatically.
# BobH: V1.1: Updated for detecting a new log file and resetting rserrlogmarker if so.
# --------------------------
# Comments: This script can easily be modified to monitor any log, including ASE.
#           The log itself is never written to so this script maintains a control
#           file to keep track of the last line it checked.
