RE: My 10 liner alert log monitoring WORKING shell Script !!! Comments Please !!!!

You can not worry about a daemon restart if you use 'tail --follow=name alertSID.log'.

Just another point of view: I would use a kind of daemon.

tail -f alert.log | while read error; do
   case "$error" in
     ORA-*) printf "%s\n" "$ORACLE_SID" "$(date)" "$error" | mailx -s 
"$ORACLE_SID : ${error:0:8}" email_at_address.edu ;;
   esac
done

Just remember to restart the daemon if you remove/move the log :)

P.S. The ${var:start:lenght} syntax is a valid for ksh93 and bash > 2.0,
if 
I recall correctly.
