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

bdb.db0

BDB.DB0(5)							AFS File Reference							BDB.DB0(5)

NAME

       bdb.DB0, bdb.DBSYS1 - Contain the Backup Database and associated log

DESCRIPTION

       The bdb.DB0 file contains the Backup Database, which records configuration information used by the AFS Backup System along with cross-
       indexed records of the tapes created and volumes dumped using the Backup System commands.

       The bdb.DBSYS1 file is a log file in which the Backup Server (buserver process) logs each database operation before performing it. When an
       operation is interrupted, the Backup Server replays the log to complete the operation.

       Both files are in binary format and reside in the /var/lib/openafs/db directory on each database server machine that runs the Backup
       Server.	When the Backup Server starts or restarts on a given machine, it establishes a connection with its peers and verifies that its
       copy of the bdb.DB0 file matches the copy on the other database server machines. If not, the Backup Servers use AFS's distributed database
       technology, Ubik, to distribute to all of the machines the copy of the database with the highest version number.

       Use the commands in the backup suite to administer the Backup Database. It is advisable to create a backup copy of the bdb.DB0 file on tape
       on a regular basis, using the UNIX tar command or another local disk backup utility.
