Quick and dirty bash shell script to find issues on your linux server

I usually would place this file in my home directory and name it 'find_issues.sh'

cd ~
nano find_issues.sh
chmod +x find_issues.sh

content of find_issues.sh:


#!/bin/bash

read -sn 1 -p "Press any key to check keyword 'error'";echo
tail -n 1000 /var/log/messages | grep error

read -sn 1 -p "Press any key to check keyword 'fail'";echo
tail -n 1000 /var/log/messages | grep fail

read -sn 1 -p "Press any key to check keyword 'panic'";echo
tail -n 1000 /var/log/messages | grep panic

read -sn 1 -p "Press any key to check keyword 'fault'";echo
tail -n 1000 /var/log/messages | grep fault

read -sn 1 -p "Press any key to check keyword 'timeout'";echo
tail -n 1000 /var/log/messages | grep timeout
