Perfect, thanks.

Hi,

I'm looking to create a script which will find all the files created in the last 24h in a directory starting with a few different letters and send them to the printer. This would be run...

Thank you :)

Hi folks,

Just a quick syntax question really. I'm trying to check a tape drive for a tape name in a ksh script. There can be two possible tape names (first three characters) and either is...

I found the reason for the backup sizes changing, was due to /proc - but still trying to find out what compression is being applied, and if we apply it at all. It seems like it is applied (2:1), but...

Hi,

I'm looking to check the compression ratio applied by hardware to work out how much free space we have on tapes.

mt -f /dev/rmt0 status shows:

Hi,

Had a quick search around but didn't really find anything that fits my question.

I have a backup script here that's been in use long before I worked here. The main part of it is:

Cheers for the replies.

I have a few test things set up in the cron of a test UNIX box to see how they go, executing writing to files rather than running any backups.

Will see over the next few...

Good point.

Perhaps adding into the monthly backup script a touch command to create a file with todays date +28 days.

Then on the call script in the cron check to see if that date matches...

Thanks! Although a monthly backup may take place on say the 1st. It's not necessarily the last Friday of the month. I'm not really sure how I can write this down clearly. There is an example in post...

Thanks - would it be possible to break it down as to what it does?

Thanks for the reply, although it may not necessarily be the 4th Friday we do our monthly backups. It's every 4 weeks. A good example of this would be in April 2011. Our monthly backups would be on...

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to run a backup in the cron every Friday, except every 4th Friday (as we do monthly backups then).

The monthly backups are not the 4th Friday of each month, but every...
