Message-Id: <10570.113022@fatcity.com> From: Ernest Simard Date: Wed, 26 Jul 2000 08:55:01 -0500 Subject: Re: Need script to copy and then truncate/tail alert log Hi, I use a slightly different approach. Append the day to the log files, this will overwrite the previous weeks file, always leaving you a weeks worth of logs (Korn shell/Solaris). The script is run by crontab just before midnight.
