It does everything but append an uptime to the end. The uptime is based on a seperate corresponding event(i have not linked uptime and downtime events to each other anywhere).

So basically, it can filter out events based on what i have in the txt file. But it has no way to save the events it filtered, wait for an uptime message that matches the downtime, and append the date and time to the output. The difficult part being that every time the script runs, it clears the syslog. So i need it to be able to keep back events with no uptime until an uptime message is logged, then have it get sent off.

This part is over my head, don't even know where to begin. Hope i am being at least semiclear.
