You can avoid the unnecessary 'cat' by just passing the filename to grep directly: # grep -c check_relay /var/log/maillog This *should* be quicker, especially in looping constructs.
For my server: cat /var/log/maillog | grep checK_relay | grep -c spamhaus 836
Again: # grep -c 'checK_relay.*spamhaus' /var/log/maillog # grep -c 'checK_relay.*spamcop' /var/log/maillog # grep -c 'checK_relay.*njabl' /var/log/maillog Would probably be more efficient and faster, you can test with 'time' to verify this. You're spawning one process 'grep', instead of three seperate processes, 'cat, 'grep' and 'grep' again.
