@Joan,

Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your use case! It’s great to see how the article inspired your project. Your example combining awk with a monitoring tool is impressive—thanks for linking it!

Awk is one of those things that, at least me, I’ve been doing a basic usage for decades but never went deeper.

I read this great article days ago and just came around by chance when it inspired me a great use case combining awk and a small monitoring tool I’ve been working on these days…

Hope you don’t take this as spam. If it is the case, I apologize for that and feel free to cut this or the whole comment if you want.

Otherwise, here it is the use case example I mentioned:
