Shell script timed task--log compression (delete)

A problem encountered earlier is that the log file is too large to occupy the disk space and cause the build project to fail

So I wanted to write a timed task. Delete a log or compress a log file

I've been on the internet for a long time and haven't found the right script.

So I consulted others, wrote a, share to the not found and need such a script novice students

Advantages: Timed compression, save space

Find log files that need to be compressed or deleted on demand

Named rm_log.sh

The shell script is as follows:

#!/bin/bash

Date

CD ${home}

Tomcat_loglist= ' Find. -type d-name "Logs"

Fortomcat_dir in $TOMCAT _loglist;

Todo

CD ${home} && CD ${tomcat_dir}&& CD.

If [-D "bin"] &&[-D "WebApps"]&& [-D "Conf"] && [D "Lib"]; Then

CD ${home} &&cd${tomcat_dir}

file_list=$ (find.-name "catalina.*"-mtime +2|grep-v ". Gz")

For i in ${file_list};

Todo

echo "Iis${tomcat_dir} ${i}"

Gzip ${i}

Done

Fi

Done

Of course you need to give him a permission to execute, or it will show a red error.

The next step is to add the timing.

To open a scheduled task edit using the command crontab-e

There are no scheduled tasks before the first line to start editing, and some words are edited in the following order,

It is recommended to comment on a line on a scheduled task

# Log Compression task

0 5 * * */**/**/**/rm_log.sh>>/**/**/**/rm_log.log

Save exit.

ps:0 5 * * * time, daily five o ' clock execution

/**/**/**/rm_log.sh is the path to your script

>>/**/**/**/rm_log.log Log Redirection

Too good to finally solve a problem ...
