如果您要翻转日志文件,并且根据您需要获得的复杂程度,我之前使用过以下段:
#!/usr/bin/bash
# rollover.sh
# Rolls over log files in the current directory.
# *.log.8 -> *.log.9
# *.log.7 -> *.log.8
# : : :
# *.log.1 -> *.log.2
# *.log -> *.log.1
shft() {
# Change this '8' to one less than your desired maximum rollover file.
# Must be in reverse order for renames to work (n..1, not 1..n).
for suff in {8..1} ; do
if [[ -f "$1.${suff}" ]] ; then
((nxt = suff + 1))
echo Moving "$1.${suff}" to "$1.${nxt}"
mv -f "$1.${suff}" "$1.${nxt}"
fi
done
echo Moving "$1" to "$1.1"
mv -f "$1" "$1.1"
}
for fspec in *.log ; do
shft "${fspec}"
#date >"${fspec}" #DEBUG code
done
这将自动将日志文件翻转到版本9,尽管您只需更改for循环以允许更多.
添加了DEBUG以便自动创建新文件以进行测试,以下脚本显示了它的运行情况:
pax> touch qq.log ; ./rollover.sh
Moving "qq.log" to "qq.log.1"
pax> touch "has spaces.log" ; ./rollover.sh
Moving "has spaces.log" to "has spaces.log.1"
Moving "qq.log.1" to "qq.log.2"
Moving "qq.log" to "qq.log.1"
pax> ll *log*
-rw-r--r-- 1 pax None 30 2010-09-11 20:39 has spaces.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 pax None 0 2010-09-11 20:39 has spaces.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 pax None 30 2010-09-11 20:39 qq.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 pax None 30 2010-09-11 20:38 qq.log.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 pax None 0 2010-09-11 20:38 qq.log.2
这个脚本的好处在于,它可以轻松配置以处理大量历史记录(通过更改{8..1}位),使用空格处理名称,并在日志文件丢失时相对健壮地处理间隙.
