Question Showing a daily backup job from a unique log file.
Hi guys,
I´m a newbie in Linux, but I´m trying to solve some problems studying on my own, but I´ve had some problems with AWK.
Look, I have one single backup log file per server and I want to make a daily delection from the last backup job to show in a intranet of my work.
The log files are from ArcServe (Windows), so I´d already made a batch file to export those backup logs to my Linux server which already have Apache running on it.
As you can see in the following code, I´d put some lines of one of my servers. The backup log are so extensive, but what´s really important I put in here. The first and the last line of this code, I suppose that is the key to select and export to a file for publish in my internal web page.
You need to keep on mind that is only a piece of the backup log.
My question, how to make this functional? I`ve already had some help in export the right fields, but work with another piece is one thing that I can´t get on nowhere.
Code:
[05/19/2009-22:00:05 ,1,0,0,0,-1,2,3,0,0] [JOBQUEUE]: Status changed from Ready to Active [Job No: 2] [Description: ]

[05/20/2009-02:51:13 ,1,3164,0,0,-1,2,18,0,0] Reschedule Backup Job for  5/20/09 at 10:00 PM.

To export this log in nice way, this is the script that I had help......
nawk -f export.awk Arcserve.log
export.awk:
Code:
BEGIN {
  OFS="\t"
}
NF {
   pivot=index($0,"]")
   split(substr($0, 2,index($0," ")-1),a, "-")
   print a[1] OFS a[2] OFS substr($0,pivot+1)
}

What I only need now is some way to separate the backup jobs.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks

dkopp

DKOPP(1)							  Dkopp man page							  DKOPP(1)

NAME

	  Dkopp - copy files to DVD or BD (Blue-ray) media

SYNOPSIS

	  dkopp [ -job | -run ] jobfile
	  dkopp [ -nogui ] -script scriptfile

DESCRIPTION

	  Dkopp copies files to backup DVD or BD media. It supports full
	  or incremental backups and full or incremental media verification.

OVERVIEW

	  Dkopp is a menu-driven GUI (GTK) program operating in its own window.
	  Dkopp copies files and directories specified in a job file to DVD or
	  BD media. Dkopp can copy all files to empty media (full copy), or
	  only new and modified files to previously used media (incremental).
	  Files and directories to include or exclude can be selected from the
	  file system hierarchy using a GUI navigator. Specifications are saved
	  in a job file which can be re-edited and re-used. Script files can
	  be run in batch mode using the -nogui option. Dkopp can be used to
	  select and restore files previously copied, and owner and permission
	  data is also restored. The DVD/BD media can also be accessed with
	  file system tools like Nautilus.

	  Dkopp supports the following functionalities:
	  - Three backup modes: full, incremental, accumulate.
	  - Three media verification modes: full, incremental, thorough.
	  - Use write-once or re-writable DVD or BD media (but not CD).
	  - Report disk:backup differences in detail or summary form.
	  - Select and restore files from a backup copy (or use drag and drop).
	  - Search log files to find media where specified files are saved.

OPTIONS

	  Command line options:
	  [ -job ] jobfile		   open job file for editing
	  -run jobfile			   execute a job file
	  [ -nogui ] -script scriptfile    execute a script file

SEE ALSO

	  The online user manual is available using the menu Help > contents.
	  This manual explains Dkopp operation in great detail.

	  Dkopp uses the batch programs grwoisofs and genisoimage.
	  Dkopp is essentially a GUI front-end for these programs.
