Searching and comparing string

[nome02]

I have a file which provide the output of all the applications which started and running successfully. But it doesn't give the Error message of the applications which are failed.

For example there are 5 applications (ABC,DEF,NMO,STO,XYZ) and application STO failed so I will get the following output (out.txt).


content of out.txt file

Application ABC is Running
Application DEF is Running
Application NMO is Running
Application XYZ is Running


I want to generate the text message based on the information on out.txt that STO application is Failed.

Please help me how can I generate under linux.

Thanks

how does the application work? I have a few ideas but no actual programming code to help you out.

If the results of the program (as outputted on out.txt) is based on whether it sees a process running, then I would think that additional logic would have to be designed into the program to help it figure out whether the lack of a process running is due to the target program failing shortly after starting or not having started at all. If that's the case, then the target application will have to be modified to log SOMEWHERE that it tried to start. You can then have the custom application read the log, and from there determine it failed (because it started but isn't actually running anymore) or never started.
