Delete all log files older than 10 day and whose first string of the first line is "MSH" or "<?xml"
Dear Ladies & Gents,
I have a requirement to delete all the log files in /var/log/test directory that are older than 10 days and their first line begin with "MSH" or "<?xml" or "FHS". I've put together the following BASH script, but it's erroring out:
Code:
for filename in $(find /var/log/test -type f -mtime +10)
do
read -r firstLine < $filename
echo "$firstLine"
either echo "${firstLine:0:3}" # "${firstLine:0:3}": bad substitution
or echo "${cut -c1-8}" # "${cut -c1-8}": bad substitution
if [ "${firstLine:0:3}" = "MSH" ] || [ "${firstLine:0:3}" = "FHS" ] || [ "${firstLine:0:5}" = "<?xml" ]
then
echo $filename >> /var/log/test/my2.log # Just a log file to keep track of which files got deleted
## rm $filename
fi
done

WARNING
!!! USAGE IN PARALLEL WITH storeBackup.pl CAN DESTROY YOUR BACKUPS !!!
OPTIONS --file, -f
configuration file (instead of parameters)
--print
print configuration read from configuration file and stop
--backupDir, -b
top level directory of all backups (must exist)
--series, -S
directory of backup series
same parameter as in storeBackup / relative path
from backupDir, default is 'default'
--lockFile, -L
lock file, if exists, new instances will finish if
an old is already running, default is $lockFile
--doNotDelete
test only, do not delete any backup
--deleteNotFinishedDirs
delete old backups which where not finished
this will not happen if doNotDelete is set
--keepAll
keep backups which are not older than the specified amount
of time. This is like a default value for all days in
--keepWeekday. Begins deleting at the end of the script
the time range has to be specified in format 'dhms', e.g.
10d4h means 10 days and 4 hours
default = $keepAll;
--keepWeekday
keep backups for the specified days for the specified
amount of time. Overwrites the default values chosen in
--keepAll. 'Mon,Wed:40d Sat:60d10m' means:
keep backups of Mon and Wed 40days + 5mins
keep backups of Sat 60days + 10mins
keep backups of the rest of the days like spcified in
--keepAll (default $keepAll)
if you also use the 'archive flag' it means to not
delete the affected directories via --keepMaxNumber:
a10d4h means 10 days and 4 hours and 'archive flag'
e.g. 'Mon,Wed:a40d Sat:60d10m' means:
keep backups of Mon and Wed 40days + 5mins + 'archive'
keep backups of Sat 60days + 10mins
keep backups of the rest of the days like specified in
--keepAll (default $keepAll)
--keepFirstOfYear
do not delete the first backup of a year
format is timePeriod with possible 'archive flag'
--keepLastOfYear
do not delete the last backup of a year
format is timePeriod with possible 'archive flag'
--keepFirstOfMonth
do not delete the first backup of a month
format is timePeriod with possible 'archive flag'
--keepLastOfMonth
do not delete the last backup of a month
format is timePeriod with possible 'archive flag'
--firstDayOfWeek
default: 'Sun'. This value is used for calculating
--keepFirstOfWeek and --keepLastOfWeek
--keepFirstOfWeek
do not delete the first backup of a week
format is timePeriod with possible 'archive flag'
--keepLastOfWeek
do not delete the last backup of a week
format is timePeriod with possible 'archive flag'
--keepDuplicate
keep multiple backups of one day up to timePeriod
format is timePeriod, 'archive flag' is not possible
default = $keepDuplicate;
--keepMinNumber
Keep that miminum of backups. Multiple backups of one
day are counted as one backup. Default is 10.
--keepMaxNumber
Try to keep only that maximum of backups. If you have
more backups, the following sequence of deleting will
happen:
- delete all duplicates of a day, beginning with the
old once, except the oldest of every day
- if this is not enough, delete the rest of the backups
beginning with the oldest, but *never* a backup with
the 'archive flag' or the last backup
--keepRelative, -R
Alternative deletion scheme. If you use this option, all other
keep options are ignored. Preserves backups depending
on their *relative* age. Example:
-R '1d 7d 2m 3m'
will (try to) ensure that there is always
- One backup between 1 day and 7 days old
- One backup between 5 days and 2 months old
- One backup between 2 months and 3 months old
If there is no backup for a specified timespan
(e.g. because the last backup was done more than 2 weeks
ago) the next older backup will be used for this timespan.
--logFile, -l
log file (default is STDOUT)
--plusLogStdout
if you specify a log file with --logFile you can
additionally print the output to STDOUT with this flag
--suppressTime
suppress output of time in logfile
--maxFilelen, -m
maximal length of file, default = 1e6
--noOfOldFiles, -n
number of old log files, default = 5
--saveLogs
save log files with date and time instead of deleting the
old (with [-noOldFiles])
--compressWith
compress saved log files (e.g. with 'gzip -9')
default is 'bzip2'
