I have created a script to clear up the /var filesystem once it reaches > 90%.
This is part of the script :
Code:
#!/bin/bash
DIR = ./adm
DIR2=./adm/sw
DIR3 = ./spool/mqueue
DIR4 = ./adm/syslog
DIR5 = ./adm/sulog
DIR6 = ./tmp
F1 = ./tmp/dead.letter
F2 = ./adm/wtmps
file1 = dead.letter
file2 = wtmps
dir=`du -x | sort -rn | head -20`
cd /var
for i in $dir;
do
if [ -d "$DIR1" ]; then
cd "$DIR1"
if [ -f "$file2" ]; then
cat /dev/null > "$file2"
elif [ -d "$DIR2" ]; then
tar -cvf /temp/admsw.arch "$DIR2";
rm -rf "$DIR2"
elif [ -d "$DIR3" ]; then
find "$DIR3" -mtime +100 -exec rm {} \;
elif [ -d "$DIR4" ]; then
elif [ -d "$DIR5" ]; then
elif [ -d "$DIR6" ]; then
cd "$DIR6"
if [ -f "$file1" ]; then
rm -f "$file1"
fi
elif [ -f "$F1" ]; then
rm -f "$F1"
elif [ -f "$F2" ]; then
cat /dev/null > "$F2"
fi
done
To test if this script works, I execute the command in the terminal (only to clear one of the filesystems above). However it seemed to run for an extremely long time. Therefore I sensed that something could be wrong with the statements I used - perhaps the for loop?
These are the steps I executed :
Code:
# cd /var
# dir=`du -x | sort -rn | head -20`
# DIR2=./adm/sw
#for i in $dir;
>do
>if [ -d "$DIR2" ]; then
>tar -cvf /temp/admsw.tar "$DIR2";
>fi
>done
Are the above steps correct? Why does the command run for a long time?

Here's my problem: the $1 parameter is getting permanently set when you dot-run a script - and I cannot unset it.
Here's how to duplicate the problem:
1) Create a script called testme and put this simple command in the script:
echo 1=$1
Save the script
2) Make the testme script... (12 Replies)
I'd like to create a cron script that checks filesystems. For example if it reaches 95% USED, I'd like it to send me an email. Can this be possible for up to say 4 filesystems using the df -k command? Any samples to get me started would be much appreciated. (7 Replies)

I wanted to find out that in my database server which filesystems are shared storage and which filesystems are local. Like when I use df -k, it shows "filesystem" and "mounted on" but I want to know which one is shared and which one is local.

MELD(1) General Commands Manual MELD(1)NAME
meld - Visual diff and merge tool for the GNOME Desktop
SYNOPSIS
meld [options]
meld [options] FILE1
meld [options] DIR1
meld [options] FILE1 FILE2 [FILE3]
meld [options] DIR1 DIR2 [DIR3]
DESCRIPTION
Meld is a graphical diff viewer and merge application for the Gnome desktop. It supports 2 and 3-file diffs, recursive directory diffs,
diffing of directories under version control (Arch, Bazaar, Codeville, CVS, Darcs, Git, Mercurial, Monotone, RCS), as well as the ability
to manually and automatically merge file differences.
OPTIONS --auto-compare, -a
Automatically compare all differing files on startup.
--diff FILE1|DIR1 FILE2|DIR2 [FILE3|DIR3]
Create a diff tab for the given files or directories. Note that "meld --diff FILE1 FILE2" is functionally equivalent to "meld FILE1
FILE2". However, the --diff argument can be given multiple times for one invocation of meld which allows the user to automatically
initiate multiple diffs when meld starts. See examples below.
--help, -h
Print application help and usage.
--LABEL=<label>, -L <label>
Set application window title to <label>.
--version
Print application version and exit.
EXAMPLES
meld
Run meld without initiating a diff.
meld FILE1
Initiate a diff between FILE1 and the version-controlled copy of FILE1.
meld DIR1
Initiate a recursive diff between DIR1 and the version-controlled copy of DIR1.
meld FILE1 FILE2
Initiate a diff between FILE1 and FILE2.
meld FILE1 FILE2 FILE3
Initiate a 3-way diff between FILE1, FILE2, and FILE3.
meld DIR1 DIR2
Initiate a recursive diff between directory DIR1 and DIR2.
meld DIR1 DIR2 DIR3
Initiate a recursive 3-way diff between directory DIR1, DIR2, and DIR3.
meld --diff FILE1 FILE2 --diff FILE3 FILE4
Initiate a diff between FILE1 and FILE2, and a separate diff between FILE3 and FILE4.
