Since *only* files under /var/log can be pruned -- by default -- then, why not modify updatefree() to say this: set -- $(df /var/log | sed -n 2p) lrp_SC_DEL_Lx could be enhanced to delete other /var/* as well. updatefree() isn't the place to determine the dir's, that's what I think. Agreed, this is not the ultimate solution. However, it does completely address DCD defaults! Nevertheless, `df /path/to/dir' *always* returns _only_ that information particular to that filesystem on which /path/to/dir resides; therefore, it would be a simple matter to test any variety of applicable dir/filesystem combinations. The truly hard part is, what to do with the information returned? Email somebody is straightforward; but, the complexities in deciding which files to purge becomes exceedingly complex !?!? Besides logfiles, what else on DCD can grow out-of-hand? On a common DCD I don't know. On my own /var/logs and /var/cache for squid. It's easy to decide that a cache can be flushed. Yes, of course, in and of itself, it is easy to decide whether or not to purge files in /var/cache. It is also easy enough to put several df's in a loop in order to analyze several filesystems. However, it is not as easy, once a filesystem is found that requires purging, for the dumb shell script to decide *which* files to purge ; For instance, just because your /var/cache maybe full, do you want to arbitrarily purge /var/log files? Not for an instant do I suggest that such complexity is insurmountable; rather, it should be clear that this is far more involved and requires a new paradigm, other than: lrp_SC_DEL_L1=/var/log/*[4-9].gz lrp_SC_DEL_L2=/var/log/*[1-3].gz lrp_SC_DEL_L3=/var/log/*.gz lrp_SC_DEL_L4=/var/log/*.0 lrp_SC_DEL_L5=/var/log/wtmp Also, do not forget, I do not recommend my solution for its completeness; rather, I recommend it because it more accurately addresses the *default* DCD distribution, can be done by changing one (1) line in the current distribution and does *not* require considerable development and testing time.

[Leaf-devel] [RFC] DCD checkfreespace() vs. multiple filesystems
[RFC] DCD checkfreespace() vs. multiple filesystems
There has been some debate regarding /etc/cron.daily/multicron-d and one
of its functions, checkfreespace(), the default configuration for which
does *not* recognize nor act on multiple filesystems.
What follows is my proposed modification to that one function and a
change in the purge list paradigm for /etc/lrp.conf, which completely
resolves this challenge.
First, currently, /etc/lrp.conf contains this, by default:
lrp_SC_DEL_L1=/var/log/*[4-9].gz
lrp_SC_DEL_L2=/var/log/*[1-3].gz
lrp_SC_DEL_L3=/var/log/*.gz
lrp_SC_DEL_L4=/var/log/*.0
lrp_SC_DEL_L5=/var/log/wtmp
I propose *replacing* those with the likes of these:
purge_ram0_L1=/tmp/*
purge_ram0_L2=/var/cache/*[1-9].gz
purge_ram0_L3=/var/cache/*.gz
purge_ram0_L4=/var/cache/*.0
purge_ram0_L5=/var/cache/*
purge_ram1_L1=/var/log/*[4-9].gz
purge_ram1_L2=/var/log/*[1-3].gz
purge_ram1_L3=/var/log/*.gz
purge_ram1_L4=/var/log/*.0
purge_ram1_L5=/var/log/wtmp
Notice, each ramdisk now *must* be configured separately for the five
(5) purge levels.
The new checkfreespace() automatically checks *ALL* filesystems known to
`df'. Currently, in DCD, all of these must take the following form:
/dev/ramX
where X is some number from 0 to an unidentified upper limit. Need we
account for mounted cdrom and floppy?
/etc/cron.daily/multicron-d -- proposed modification to function [Beware
of inadvertent line wrap!]:
checkfreespace () {
ckfree () {
[ $bfree -le ${lrp_SC_MINKB:--1} ] return 1
[ $pfree -le ${lrp_SC_MINPER:-101} ] return 1
return 0
}
cleanlevel () {
eval F=\$purge_$@_L$cklevel
for f in $F
do
[ ! -f $f ] continue # Bug in expansion?
: $f
done
}
mailspacelow () {
{
echo
echo date: $(date)
echo src : $HOSTNAME
echo filesystem: /dev/$@
echo level: $cklevel freeKB: $bfree free%: $pfree
echo
} | mailadmin Freespace Low!
}
updatefree () {
IFS=$SP$TAB%
set -- $(df /dev/$@ | sed -n 2p)
IFS=$OIFS
bfree=$4
pfree=$((100 - $5))
}
[ $lrp_SPACECHECK != YES ] return 0
# NOTE: *BOTH* character classes contain *both* space and tab !?!?
fslist=`df | sed '1d;s!^/dev/\([^ ]*\)[ ]*.*$!\1!'`
for fs in $fslist
do
cklevel=0
while [ $cklevel -lt 5 ]
do
updatefree $fs
ckfree break
cklevel=$(($cklevel + 1))
cleanlevel $fs
done
[ $cklevel -ge ${lrp_SC_MAIL_LEVEL:-1} ] mailspacelow $fs
done
log checkfreespace
}
What do you think?
