linux-howto

http://www.unix.com – I want to create a script that will zip the previous log. Example. abc.log.2012.12.02 abc.log.2012.12.01.gzip abc.log If today is 2012.12.03 , my current log is abc.log and my previous date is 2012.12.02, i want abc.log.2012.12.02 to compress everytime I run the script. I can manually run compress the file gzip abc.log.2012.12.02 but I want the log to automate every 2am in the morning. Every 1200midnight the file is rotating and it creates a previous date, and I want this previous date file to be compress. I now how to use the cronjob but i dont have script to do it. Pleas (HowTos)

bash script to gzip files 31 weeks 3 days ago

I have to make a bash script that do a gzip of a file if is older than 60 days, and move it in a subdir which name is the beginning of the filename.

I have an SQL fact table which is used for looking up a date and returning another date.

The table schema is as follows:

TABLE date_lookup ( pk_date DATE, plus1_months DATE, plus2_months DATE, plus3_months DATE );

UNIQUE INDEX on date_lookup(pk_date);

I have a load file (pipe delimited) containing dates from 01-28-2012 to 03-31-2014.

The following is an example of the load file:

01-2

Script read highest value 49 weeks 5 days ago

Hi All,

Can someone help steer me to the simplest approach to write a script that reads the second column of a csv file and returns the highest value.

example file:

DATE,QUANTITY Mon Apr 30 01:56:00 2012,42 Mon Apr 30 02:24:00 2012,72 Mon Apr 30 02:56:00 2012,102 Mon Apr 30 02:59:00 2012,132 Mon Apr 30 03:31:00 2012,222 Mon Apr 30 03:38:00 2012,192

TIA

Compression programs on Linux 1 year 36 weeks ago

Or zip VS gzip VS bzip2 VS xz In a previous article about the tar program I mentioned gzip and bzip2 compression methods as options to create a tarball (and I forgot xz).

To make amends today I will introduce the main methods to compress the file and I’ll do some tests to see how they behave.

HI all ,

i want to make an automatic script using if / while to search for files in folder and get the least by date and gzip them ( last 70 file )

/file/home/logs

30 files in 11/2012 45 files in 10/2012 30 files in 9/2012 10 files in 8/2012

so it get 10 + 30 + 30 ( from 10 ) and gzip them

what about my script

Code:

  for sourcefile in `ls -rt *.txt`       &n

I have a file cccam.cfg which contains line like that

Code: F: user pass 1 0 0 {0 0 1} # 24-02-2013 F: user1 pass1 1 0 0 {0 0 1} # 01-11-2012 I want a script that adds the symbol # before the line that the date has expired like this

Code: # F: user1 pass1 1 0 0 {0 0 1}# 01-11-2012 but in the same file cccam.cfg

and thank you

Hi All,

Request your expertise in tackling one requirement in my project,(i dont have much expertise in Shell Scripting). The requirement is as below,

1) We store the last run date of a process in a file. When the batch run the next time, it should read this file, get the last run date from the file.
