Help - I am looking for a script

Nick D'Angelo — Tue, 23 Jul 2002 16:40:19 GMT

that will look in sub directories for certain files and then email them to me.

The pattern that I am looking for is dbname.lg.

or better than mailing them, how about we back them up but this would require the renaming of the files as they are db backup log files with the same name.

# find -name dbname.lg | xargs mailx user@domain.com

will email you a list of dbname.lg files.

Almost but the directory structure is the problem

I have the following files in these directories
/bi/parking/02/Feb/02/iscan.lg
/bi/parking/02/Feb/03/iscan.lg
/bi/parking/02/Feb/04/iscan.lg

The script that you gave me comes back with a no message error.

Thanks.

Nick,

Something like this:

for FILE in `find /bi/parking -name iscan.lg`
do
elm -s "WhatEver" Nick@xxx.com < $FILE
done

I think that should give you what you're looking for.

Hai and Pete,
thanks for your help.

Pete especially. It is a little heavy on the system load with a zillion sendmail requests, but I think it works.

Thanks again.

Or something with mailx for subject like
# for FILE in `find /dir -name "dbname.lg" -print` ; do
cat $FILE | mailx -s $FILE user@somewhere
done

Regards,
Shannon

Ok. this is a modified version.

#!/bin/sh

find -name dbname.lg | while read FILE;
do
mailx -s "$FILE" user@domain.com < $FILE
done

Nick,

You could concatenate all the files into one big file and just mail that one. Would that work for you?

Nick,

Or - for that matter - we could pursue your backup idea. How and where do you want to back them up and what to you want done with the originals?

Pete

Here is script code to put all of the files into a single email.
/usr/lib/sendmail -t << __EnD__
To: $TO
Cc: $CC
Bcc: $BCC
Subject: $SUBJECT

$(echo $BODY)

$(find /work -name 'dbname.lg' -exec uuencode {} {} \;)

__EnD__

Why not use a single sendmail with multiple attachments?

sendmail target@domain << END
Subject: changed files
$(find . -name "pattern" -exec uuencode {} {} \;)
done

Points to everyone - but Pete's solution was perfect.

Thank you !!

Sorry, me again.

I for some reason, can not get my head around this.

It would be preferred if the files were concatenated to one big file.

Everything I try, simply lists the files.

The problem is my directory structure of ..../02/May/01/iscan.log and ..May/02/iscan.lg

for every day.

My apologies for re-posting.
