Thanks to Sean Harding for the quick response. The answer was egrep

script.sh | egrep "Synchronized|Restored"

Thanks,

John

I'm sorry for asking such a basic question, but I couldn't find what I was
looking for in the man page for grep.

I'm trying to grep the output of a script for either "Synchronized" or
"Restored". I know that if I only wanted one, I could use:
script.sh | grep "Synchronized"

But the script takes awhile to run & I needed to be able grep for either of
these at the same time.

Thanks,

John
