Skip files in use
Hi all,
i'm trying to configure a script that will find and gzip the searched files,
this is easy enough,
Code:
find /var/log/myfolder/*.log -type f -mtime +1 -exec gzip {} \;
cd /var/log/myfolder/
mv *gz myzipped_folder/

but what it would be very handy is to skip the files in use,because tomcat its going to check for some file that my script have gziped and move and alerting me by email for not enough space on HDD,when in reality there is enough,
you may suggests why don't you simply restart Tomcat,well i cant do that,to many jobs running 24h to 24h,so is any way to implement on my script the option skip files in use by Tomcat?

Thanks in advance
Charli.

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dh_clean

DH_CLEAN(1)							     Debhelper							       DH_CLEAN(1)

NAME

       dh_clean - clean up package build directories

SYNOPSIS

       dh_clean [debhelperoptions] [-k] [-d] [-Xitem] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_clean is a debhelper program that is responsible for cleaning up after a package is built. It removes the package build directories, and
       removes some other files including debian/files, and any detritus left behind by other debhelper commands. It also removes common files
       that should not appear in a Debian diff:
	 #*# *~ DEADJOE *.orig *.rej *.SUMS TAGS .deps/* *.P *-stamp

       It does not run "make clean" to clean up after the build process. Use dh_auto_clean(1) to do things like that.

       dh_clean (or "dh clean") should be the last debhelper command run in the clean target in debian/rules.

FILES

       debian/clean
	   Can list other files to be removed.

OPTIONS

       -k, --keep
	   This is deprecated, use dh_prep(1) instead.

       -d, --dirs-only
	   Only clean the package build directories, do not clean up any other files at all.

       -Xitem --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being deleted, even if they would normally be deleted. You may use this
	   option multiple times to build up a list of things to exclude.

       file ...
	   Delete these files too.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
