Help Consolidating Logs

[megawicked]

OK... I have to console logs from two different machines (solaris 8) and I need to take console log 1 and append it to cosole log 2 name it with the date (like console####.gz where #### is the current date) zip it and move it to another server. Any one know of the best way or a script that can do this ?

Thanks for the help !

Something like this?

#!/bin/bash

today=`date +%e%b%Y`;
echo 'log1:' > console$today;
cat log1 >> console$today;
echo 'log2:' >> console$today;
cat log2 >> console$today;

That'll give you a file called 'console25Apr2002' (today it will, anyway!) which will contain:
log1:
[log 1 contents]
log2:
[log 2 contents]

Hope it helps. Matt

Oh, forgot the zippage... Add

gzip console$today;

as the last line and it'll zip it.
To get it to another server, you can add

scp console$today.gz user@host:directory

or similar. Matt
