Hi,
In our environment, one application writes a logs in text format.Log file size goes upto 25MB .Log file rotation is used.
We want to modify the data(immediately) in the log file if record matches some expression. In what language program should be written?
Does the program need to poll the log file continuously?
Operating System is Solaris and we have Java/PERL installed.(and ofcourse SED/AWK).

Thanks

You might have a better chance of getting this answered in the Linux forum, I'll move it there.

If you are considering Java, check out JNotify
