Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Help needed on Perl Script to Handle Log files that are rotated using logrotate Post 302714769 by DGPickett on Friday 12th of October 2012 03:12:42 PM

In general scripting pseudo-code, create a marker file with the last line # you examined in it immediately at the end of the scan. On the next pass, find files newer than the marker file and concatenate them to standard in, discarding the number of lines in the marker file. This way, the script only sees new lines from new files. If during the last scan there were logs log1 to log87 and log being written, and you saw 3214 lines of that file, later when you return there might be logs log1 to log99, but you want to start after line 3214 of log88 examining through log99 and then log.

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
