Hello Guys, I have a question on how to view the alert log. I mean, alert log is such a huge file and for the most recent alerts I could do "tail -<num> <alert_log_name>" but what if I wanted to view something that happened few days ago in the alert log, and the content pertaining to that day would be some where middle of the file, I cant possibly do "vi <alert_log name>", since that will take me forever to get to the point where I want to go. So how do I go about viewing the alert log for a given period of time, is there a unix command which I can use?
Thank You
