I'm looking for a __simple__ way to approach this. I would like to
create a "log" type file from an application. Instead of logging to a
specific file name each time, I would like to log to a "base name" which
then appends an ever increasing number on the end. This is like a GDG in
z/OS, where I just specify DSN=SOME.NAME(+1) and the system generates
the next GDG number in sequence. So far, the best that I've come up with
is something like:
#!/bin/sh
cd /logging/sub/directory
export BASENAME=base.name
NEXT=$(ls -l ${BASENAME}.* | awk -F '.' '{print $NF}' | sort -nr | head
-1)
if [ -z $NEXT ]; then NEXT=0;fi
NEXT=$((1+${NEXT}))
export GDG=${BASEENAME}.${NEXT}
program --logname=${GDG}
