Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How can i make my cron/script to generate a log filename with timestamp in it ? Post 302931669 by MadeInGermany on Wednesday 14th of January 2015 12:41:39 PM

If by chance a yearly retention is wanted, you can simply leave out the years and seconds, and it will overwrite the logs after one year:
Code:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /tmp/test/mytestscpt.sh > /tmp/test/logs/crnlog-$(date +\%m-\%d-\%H-\%M).log

Alternatively, a separate cleanup process can be run from the same cron entry:
Code:
0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * find /tmp/test/logs -type f -name "crnlog-*.log" -mtime +365 -delete; /tmp/test/mytestscpt.sh > /tmp/test/logs/crnlog-$(date +\%Y-\%m-\%d-\%H-\%M-\%S).log

SAVE_BINARY_LOGS(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      SAVE_BINARY_LOGS(1p)

NAME
save_binary_logs - Concatenating binary or relay logs from the specified file/position to the end of the log. This command is automatically executed from MHA Manager on failover, and manual execution should not be needed normally. SYNOPSIS
# Test $ save_binary_logs --command=test --binlog_dir=/var/lib/mysql --start_file=mysqld-bin.000002 # Saving binary logs $ save_binary_logs --command=save --binlog_dir=/var/lib/mysql --start_file=mysqld-bin.000002 --start_pos=312 --output_file=/var/tmp/aggregate.binlog # Saving relay logs $ save_binary_logs --command=save --start_file=mysqld-relay-bin.000002 --start_pos=312 --relay_log_info=/var/lib/mysql/relay-log.info --output_file=/var/tmp/aggregate.binlog save_binary_logs concatenates binary or relay logs from the specified log file/position to the end of the log. This tool is intended to be invoked from the master failover script(MHA Manager), and manual execution is normally not needed. DESCRIPTION
Suppose that master is crashed and the latest slave server has received binary logs up to mysqld-bin.000002:312. It is likely that master has more binary logs. If it is not sent to the slave, slaves will lose all binlogs from mysqld-bin.000002:312. The purpose of the save_binary_logs is to save binary logs that are not replicated to slaves. If master is reachable through SSH and binary logs are readable, saving binary logs is possible. Here is an example: $ save_binary_logs --command=save --start_file=mysqld-bin.000002 --start_pos=312 --output_file=/var/tmp/aggregate.binlog Then all binary logs starting from mysqld-bin.000002:312 are concatenated and stored into /var/tmp/aggregate.binlog. If you have binary logs up to mysqld-bin.000004, the following mysqlbinlog outputs are written. mysqld-bin.000002:Format Description Event(FDE), plus from 312 to the tail mysqld-bin.000003:from 0 to the tail, excluding FDE mysqld-bin.000004:from 0 to the tail, excluding FDE perl v5.14.2 2012-01-08 SAVE_BINARY_LOGS(1p)
