Full Discussion: Script or alias to backup all files opened by vi
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Script or alias to backup all files opened by vi Post 302893261 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 18th of March 2014 08:02:59 AM

Something like this might help:-
Code:
print ":w .profile.`date +%s`" > /tmp/$$ ; vim -s /tmp/$$ .profile;rm /tmp/$$

It might be fun getting it into an alias though. It also only works on a single file. I suppose you could write it as a shell script and put in a loop, calling your shell script in place of vim



I hope that this helps,

vgcfgrestore

VGCFGRESTORE(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   VGCFGRESTORE(8)

NAME

       vgcfgrestore - restore volume group descriptor area

SYNOPSIS

       vgcfgrestore [-d|--debug] [-f|--file filename] [-l[l]|--list] [-h|--help] [-M|--Metadatatype1|2] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] VolumeGroupName

DESCRIPTION

       vgcfgrestore  allows  you  to  restore  the metadata of VolumeGroupName from a text backup file produced by vgcfgbackup.  You can specify a
       backup file with --file.  If no backup file is specified, the most recent one is used.  Use --list for a list of the available  backup  and
       archive files of VolumeGroupName.

OPTIONS

       -l | --list -- List files pertaining to VolumeGroupName
	      List  metadata  backup  and  archive  files  pertaining  to VolumeGroupName.  May be used with the -f option.  Does not restore Vol-
	      umeGroupName.

       -f | --file filename -- Name of LVM metadata backup file
	      Specifies a metadata backup or archive file to be used for restoring VolumeGroupName.  Often this file has been created with  vgcfg-
	      backup.

       See lvm for common options.

REPLACING PHYSICAL VOLUMES

       vgdisplay  --partial  --verbose will show you the UUIDs and sizes of any PVs that are no longer present.  If a PV in the VG is lost and you
       wish to substitute another of the same size, use pvcreate --restorefile filename --uuid uuid (plus additional arguments as appropriate)	to
       initialise  it with the same UUID as the missing PV.  Repeat for all other missing PVs in the VG.  Then use vgcfgrestore --file filename to
       restore the volume group's metadata.
