Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Traverse through directories Post 302929194 by junior-helper on Thursday 18th of December 2014 04:09:41 PM

Code:
# going in the tmp directory
cd /tmp
# creating sample directory tree
mkdir -p bhaskar/a/b/c/d/logs \
    bhaskar/b/a/b/c \
    bhaskar/c/a/b/logs \
    bhaskar/d/a/b \
    bhaskar/e/a \
    "bhaskar/f/a b/logs"
# creating three sample log files
touch bhaskar/a/b/c/d/logs/this.log \
    bhaskar/c/a/b/logs/that.log \
    "bhaskar/f/a b/logs/thisthat.log"

With GNU find (searching for this.log file in any of the "logs" directories):
Code:
find bhaskar -type f -wholename '*/logs/this.log'

If you don't have GNU find, try this:
Code:
find bhaskar -type d -name logs |\
while read logdir; do
  find "$logdir" -type f -name 'this.log'
done

scanlogs

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

NAME

       scanlogs - summarize INN log files.

SYNOPSIS

       scanlogs [ norotate ]

DESCRIPTION

       Scanlogs  summarizes  the information recorded in the INN log files (see newslog(5)).  By default, it also rotates and cleans out the logs.
       It is normally invoked by the news.daily(8) script.

KEYWORDS

       The following keywords are accepted:

       norotate
	      Using this keyword disables the rotating and cleaning aspect of the log processing: the logs files are only scanned for  information
	      and no contents are altered.

       If scanlogs is invoked more than once a day, the ``norotate'' keyword should be used to prevent premature log cleaning.
