logrotating?

[blueeyedme]

Hi folks

On our system we have a huge directory with alot of *.log files. I would like to make some sort of logrotate script. Some sort of thing that checks if a logfile is older then 10 days, and if so tar it with all the other 10 day old .log files and name the tarfile as logfiles.weeknr.

Anybody ?

Untested :
find /logdir -name "*.log" -mtime +10 -exec tar -cvf tarfile {} \;

I think if i use it the "Dickie Bird" way its gonna create separate tar files for every logfile?

I've placed my 'rotatelogs' script on my software page if you'd like to give it a go:

That is correct blueeyedme. This modified version would create one archive (untested):

find /logdir -name "*.log" -mtime +10 | xargs tar -czf logs.`date +%V`.tgz
