Script to clear archive log

[ckchai]

Hi,

Currently Im running the backup of archive log using tar.

After that manually remove the archive log files.

Does anyone have a script to automatic tar the archive log, after that capture the files that been backup and remove it?

Hi

Try the below script.. Modify the file names and locations accroding to your env.

cd /archdir/
ls -lrt |awk '{print $9}'>>/tmp/archivelogout.`date`
tar -cvf /tmp/archvlog.`date`.tar *
for i in `cat /tmp/archivelogout.`date`
do
tar -tvf /tmp/archvlog.`date`.tar|awk '{print $8}'|grep $i
logs=`echo $?`
if [ $logs -eq 0 ]
then
rm /archdir/$i
else
echo "$i not backed up">>/tmp/notbackedfile.`date`
fi
done


Pls do not try this script directly as this involvs a "rm" command. !!!! :)

Pls do not try to run this without testing as it contains a "rm" command. !!!! :)

Try as,

#!/bin/ksh
# User input -- Here
ARCHIVEDIR=/tmp/arcive

cd ${ARCHIVEDIR}
tar -cvf /archive_$(date +%d%m%y).tar *
if [[ ${?} -eq 0 ]]
then
echo "Archive of ${ARCHIVEDIR} is successful - $(date)"
rm -f *
else
echo "Archive of ${ARCHIVEDIR} is failure - $(date)"
# echo "Archive ttempt again" | mailx -s "Failure" mail ID
fi
# END
exit 0

Archive file will be in the format as, /archive_DDMMYY.tar file.
