Adding date and time to a log file
Morning all
Im hoping you can help me. We have a nice new oracle server
![Frown Smilie](https://www.unix.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
and are needing to move some files around for EDI and BACS. The server runs windows but has an app called MKS toolkit installed which give unix commands. (Needed for the oracle stuff) I have had a go using dos commands in a batch file and also using things like touch but am not getting anywhere.
What im wanting it to copy files from the out folder into an edi folder and then move the files from the original out to an archive. Im wanting to log what is copied and moved. They want it to run every 10mins so I would like to create one log file per day and have the time in the file before the files are copied so we can look back and see what happend at what time.
My current attempt:
copy /V E:\oracle\uatcomn\admin\out\UAT_wendy\p??????.mf e:\edi\edi_out >> e:\edi\copy.log this works but just adds and adds.
This is probably very simple but its beating me
Thanks
Lee

rpload
rpload(1) General Commands Manual rpload(1)
NAME
rpload - alpine remote data utility
SYNTAX
rpload [ -f ] [ -s trimSize ] -t Type -l Local_file -r Remote_folder
DESCRIPTION
Rpload may be used to convert local Alpine configuration files or address books into remote configurations or address books. It is
intended to be used by system administrators. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.
Local_file will usually be a user's alpine configuration file, and Remote_folder is the IMAP folder which will be used (with the help of
Alpine's -p, -P, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) as the user's remote configuration folder. A
copy of Local_file will be placed in the folder with the correct header lines to satisfy Alpine.
-f Force the load even if the remote folder is in the wrong format. This will delete the contents of the folder so use it
carefully.
-s trimSize If the number of messages in the remote folder is more than one plus trimsize (one is for the header message), then
messages 2, 3, and so on will be deleted until there are only one plus trimsize messages left. If this option is not
set no trimming will be done.
-t Type The possible Types are pinerc, abook, and sig. (Sig is mostly obsolete. Literal signatures contained within the remote
pinerc should be used instead.)
-l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied.
-r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied to. See the Alpine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name. One exam-
ple is
{my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
