[Tutor] What am I missing?

[Tom Tucker]

Good evening! Any thoughts on this one?

The goal is to 'tail -f /var/log/messages' and if the line contains
"CROND" for example, then print that line.  The below script does a
great job of tailing and printing, but it prints EVERYTHING.

##################
#!/usr/bin/python

import os, re

findme = re.compile('CROND')
logfile = os.system('tail -f /var/log/messages')
for line in logfile:
        found = re.search(findme, line)
        if found:
                print line,
        else:
                print "not found"
####################


Thanks,

Tom
