i have to touch the file because we have some processes running that need to pick that blank file otherwise we need to restart the aaplication again if i deleted the file without touching it.cp will unnecessarily increase the size. |
What about moving the file and touching a new one:
Code:
for file in `ls *log*`
do
mv $file $file.`date +%a` && touch $file || echo "Can not backup $file";
done
