Here is what I use. It's a modified version of what someone else posted. As
you can see I love to use "contant" definitions, that way any change in one
of those "parameters" needs only to be changed at the top. It also results
in shorter commandline later in the bachtfile. It simply deletes the oldest
directory with virus files, renames the directory names for the VirusDayX
directories until the all are one day later and the creates a new one for
today and moves all files into that directory.
The DTLOG program is something I whipped up in good old Pascal 6 for Dos
when there was no way to get a date and time into a batchfile commandline.
As of Windows 2000 there is now a way to get the date and time in a
parameter and use it. However, as I keep forgetting what those lines are....
and I have my DTLOG program... ;-)
Here's what my LOGFILE output looks like:
[....]
2004/10/14 00:01:00 : Rotating virus directories
2004/10/14 00:01:02 : Rotating VirusDay directories OK
1024 File(s) 21.405.619 bytes
2004/10/15 00:01:00 : Rotating virus directories
2004/10/15 00:01:01 : Rotating VirusDay directories OK
772 File(s) 16.306.664 bytes
Each virus mail has two files Q...SMD and D...SMD. If you want more then 5
days history, simply extend the numer of lines from one Set RotDay... to the
next. And, of course, change the lines for Days5.
