Log folder size monitoring script
Hi All,
Can anyone refer to me a readymade script for the purpose of log folder size monitoring script.
Example : I have a log folder of size 10 G, and as the logs keep accumulating the folder gets full and i have to manually zip/remove the files in order to keep the server running. Something that will help my life is script that monitors the log folder size and when ever it goes beyond the threshold it zip and removes the older files.
Sorry i tried searching this in the forum but could not find enough to help me.

Thanks All
findjai

Stay with the basics, don't rewrite the book.

Use logrotate or logadm or newsyslog... depending on your OS.
