moving logs automatically but not removing
hello all,

Need assistance on the subject line above.

I have a logserver.log located at /usr/local/logserver. It's NSLOGDEPTH=100. I'm not sure if this is the reason but my log file retention is only up to 100 only..
sample
logserver001.log
logserver002.log
...
...
logserver100.log

The other logs were already removed. I do not have any scripts on logrotate for this specific logs. My question now is: How can I move some logs automatically so that it will not be removed totally from the system. I'm planning to move it locally on the server and compressed it at the same time. My second plan is to move it on another server. Do I need to create a script on this or can be done on logrotate? (note: i do not want to remove old logs however)

thank you and appreciate your help.

If u send a single file then you can achieve using a scp command itself. if u need more than some amount of file to be send you must write a script with scp.
