Hi Folks,
I've put together a script for sorting my backup files into sub folders to be run from a cron job. Each file is named username.tar.gz and the file /etc/trueuserowners contains all users and their owner in the format "user: owner".
The script works fine identifying users and their owners and is as follows:
Say I have the following:
/path/to/backups/userabackup.tar.gz
usera is owned by resellera.
The first time the script runs, the script will create the following directory and move userabackup.tar.gz into it:
/path/to/backups/resellera
The script has an if in it to ensure that /path/to.backups/resellera is only created if it does not already exist as you can see. My problem is that the mv command appears to be backing up the directory and creating a new one instead of moving the file into the existing directory and replacing the file if it is already there.
For example:
The second time the script runs, /path/to/backups/resellera will be renamed to /path/to/backups/resellera.1 and a new /path/to/backups/resellera is created.
The third time, /path/to.backups/resellera.1 is renamed /path/to.backups/resellera.2, /path/to.backups/resellera to /path/to.backups/resellera.1 and a new directory created.
I shouldn't need to have the script remove the directory first and the mv command does not create backup directories like this when run from the console. The VERSION_CONTROL environment is not set.
Is there something specific that makes mv act like this when run from a cron job? Do I have to tell it to over-write instead of create these backups?

Hi,
i have a webserver logfile and want to count how many page views there have been.
I was thinking about removing lines that begin with the same user and same date&time, because it indicates they were just looking at one page and multiple hits were counted.
My question is how do I do this?... (6 Replies)
