Operating Systems HP-UX Removing files from a particular month Post 302633945 by admin_xor on Wednesday 2nd of May 2012 04:43:36 PM

Awesome!! Smilie

Regarding the syntax, for "and" operation, I usually do not bother about the -a operator. That syntax I use for "or" operation with -o. Here's what GNU find's man page has to say about it:

Code:
The  expression  is  made up of options (which affect overall operation
       rather than the processing of a specific file, and always return true),
       tests  (which  return  a  true or false value), and actions (which have
       side effects and return a true or false value), all separated by opera-
       tors.  -and is assumed where the operator is omitted.

And here's the proof:

Code:
# ls -la /tmp/file*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Feb  1 08:33 /tmp/file1
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Feb 28 08:33 /tmp/file2
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Feb 14 08:33 /tmp/file3
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Jan 14 08:33 /tmp/file4

Code:
# find /tmp -mtime -$(( 3+30+31+29 )) -mtime +$(( 3+30+30 )) -exec ls -lv '{}>
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Feb 28 08:33 /tmp/file2
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Feb  1 08:33 /tmp/file1
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 0 Feb 14 08:33 /tmp/file3

But, again, HP-UX find may differ. This is tested with GNU find Smilie

Thanks Methyl.

NAME
logfetch - Xymon client data collector SYNOPSIS
logfetch CONFIGFILE STATUSFILE DESCRIPTION
logfetch is part of the Xymon client. It is responsible for collecting data from logfiles, and other file-related data, which is then sent to the Xymon server for analysis. logfetch uses a configuration file, which is automatically retrieved from the Xymon server. There is no configuration done locally. The configuration file is usually stored in the $BBHOME/tmp/logfetch.cfg file, but editing this file has no effect since it is re-written with data from the Xymon server each time the client runs. logfetch stores information about what parts of the monitored logfiles have been processed already in the $BBHOME/tmp/logfetch.status file. This file is an internal file used by logfetch, and should not be edited. If deleted, it will be re-created automatically. SECURITY
logfetch needs read access to the logfiles it should monitor. If you configure monitoring of files or directories through the "file:" and "dir:" entries in client-local.cfg(5) then logfetch will require at least read-acces to the directory where the file is located. If you request checksum calculation for a file, then it must be readable by the Xymon client user. Do NOT install logfetch as suid-root. There is no way that logfetch can check whether the configuration file it uses has been tampered with, so installing logfetch with suid-root privileges could allow an attacker to read any file on the system by using a hand-crafted con- figuration file. In fact, logfetch will attempt to remove its own suid-root setup if it detects that it has been installed suid-root. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DU Command used to collect information about the size of directories. By default, this is the command du -k. If the local du-command on the client does not recognize the "-k" option, you should set the DU environment variable in the $BBHOME/etc/hobbitclient.cfg file to a command that does report directory sizes in kilobytes.
