Numbering
I'm trying to do a script that will look for a log file if it is already there change the name to another name.
I.E
if log.0 is there
rename to log.1
rename log.1 to log.2
rename log.2 to log.3 and so on.
Only thing is I got no idea where or what is the best command to use for this? I'm was thinking maybe mixing in sed and awk some how and doing it that way. As I said though I got no idea.
Perfect example the log files on /var/adm/log you got log.0 log.1 log.2 and so on these files have records and everytime a new log is needed the old log.X number moves up to the next number. Either it be 1 thru to 400.
If anyone can shed some light on this for me thanks a heap.

Would it be possible for a script to duplicate a file and incrementally number it?
File in: XXX_007_0580_xxxx_v0016.aep
File out: XXX_007_0580_xxxx_v0017.aep
If someone knows of a way I'd love to see it.
Thanks! (7 Replies)
