Script - capture log name

MikeL_4 — Tue, 09 Nov 2004 09:04:10 GMT

I have a crontab entry that creates a log file from sample entry:
00 07 * * 2 /root/make_net_recovery.ksh > /root/logs/`hostname`_net_recovery.log
.`date "+\%Y\%m\%d_\%H\%M"` 2>&1

Is there a way within the script to capture the name assigned to the log file thats being generated ?

When a script is run the variable $0 is the name of the script being run.

In the script itself, echo $0 to the log file.

You could also route the output with a | mailx -s "script is run" someone@your.net

on the end of it.

I'd suggest this statement in the script

echo $0 >> /root/logs/`hostname`_net_recovery.log

Do you mean the cron log?

ls -tr /root/logs/*log* |tail -1
