Stopping tail -f when certain string found

[guif]

I have this command:

tail -f $TOMCAT/logs/catalina.out | grep "Server startup in"

How can I stopped this when found "Server startup in" ??

thanks in advance

while [ "`tail -n 1 $TOMCAT/logs/catalina.out | grep "Server startup in"`" = "" ] ; do echo `tail -n 1 test` ; done

this is kinda crappy as it will echo a line more than once most likely, but it should work

Oh sorry. it's possible that you don't understand my question

In a script I put this:

STOP=`tail -f $TOMCAT/logs/catalina.out | grep "Server startup in"`
if [ "$?" != "0" ]; then
echo ""
else
echo "server start"
fi

I would like that tail detect a Server Start show the echo that I have into the if

I think youI can't proceed this way because the -f option of tail prevents it from returning.

You should rather check for the presence of a socket file, if any, that most servers write when they are up,
or check that the port Tomcat listens to is opened or not. See Tomcat's documentation.

I try whit this:

tail -f $RUTA_TOMCAT/logs/catalina.out | awk '/Server startup in/; { exit }'

I think it's run!

You would exit your script without any action done, what's the point ? And I'm not sure all the output of tail would be piped. Does it work as you expect ?
