Hi,

if I understand you right there is kind of a protocol file under /siebel/bin where ABEND details are recorded,
and you want to receive these detail information whenever an ABEND occurs (i.e. the protocol file grows).

OK, let's call this protocol file /siebel/bin/cores.

Now we can do something similar to liddler's approach:

#!/bin/ksh
wc -l < /siebel/bin/cores > /tmp/siebel_corecount
while true
do
sleep 60
CDIFF=$(($(wc -l < /siebel/bin/cores)-$(cat /tmp/siebel_corecount)))
if [ $CDIFF -gt 0 ]
then
tail -$CDIFF /siebel/bin/cores | mailx -s "New core file(s)" aixtutorial@gmail.com
wc -l < /siebel/bin/cores > /tmp/siebel_corecount
fi
done

run this script (I'll call it corewatch.sh) in the background this way:

nohup /path/to/corewatch.sh &

With some minor modifications we could also run the script from cron. Please let me know if this is desired.
