[Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
I am trying to create a batch file that will zip up a weeks worth of logs and then move that zip file. The problem I am having is that I want to zip the previous 7 days, but sometimes the last log is time stamped say 04/16/06 11:59 PM and sometimes say 04/17/06 12:00 AM. Because of that, if I run the batch file on 04/17/06, it may or may not include the log file for 04/16/06 depending on the final time stamp. Other than stopping services just before midnight and then restarting, what is the best way to always ensure that I am processing the correct day's files?

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
Don't run your script at midnight but at 12:30. This will give the server plenty of time. There is a good sample script here: http://www.iisfaq.com/Default.aspx?tabid=2809 It doesn't use WinZip but creates MS cab files.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
Hi John, If you use daily IIS logfiles I would go by filename instead of time stamp. Our log archival script is scheduled for a few days (5) afterwards to zip up the previous month's files. You don't need to wait that long, but since IIS sometimes locks the file for a while, I would wait at least one day before running the script. We wait a bit longer due to the occassional need to do additional reporting for the previous month. In your case, running the script on Monday evening or Tuesday morning for the previous Monday through Sunday filenames should work fine.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
Well... Once you kick start the procedure by zipping all of the previous folders, then all you have left is 7 days worth of logs, so you can bag the prev x days logic and just use dec*.log as the parameter. Or likewise, tell the script to do the previous 8 days and you'll always get the full list.

[Declude.JunkMail] OT: Windows update (maybe) breaks mapping to Linux box?
Sorry for the quick OT post, but I don't have time to research it further. But in one of our offices we have windows XP machines mapped to shared drives on a Linux Red Hat box that suddenly couldn't be access. After the latest auto update they could only see the Red Hat PC by IP address. The vendor for our accounting software said they had another client having the same issues. I put an entry in the hosts file of the affected computers and the mapping began to work. Just in case any of you are in a similar situation.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
Sure. A simple VBS script can determine the current date, and back up X days to determine the filename(s) to be added. Admittedly this is much simpler on a monthly schedule that a weekly schedule, since you could just go by the first part of the file name with wildcards. However, in your case, just loop through the past X days, calling the command line WinZip to add the file(s) for that date. Or even better, loop through and generate a list of filenames to add to the zip file, and make one call to add them all.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
Good point. Add to the weekly file daily instead of running just once at
the end of the week... assuming you don't need the files for reporting in
the interim. Then you just need to have a function to determine the zip
file name for the week.

AH, use variables to set the date and then process by date. Now question,
how does that work if say you run the script on 04/01/06? Will it recognize
the day before as 03/31/06 or will it try to say it is 04/00/06?

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
Don't do it by time stamp, do it by determining the filenames and adding them appropriately. That's what we do and it works perfectly, though we do it monthly instead of weekly.

FYI, I am doing this for IIS logs, KIWI logs as well as Declude logs so I am looking for a universal solution.

I then run the same command, but using delete instead of wzzip. Both of these commands are in a simple bat file that I call from windows scheduler.

Because of that, if I run the batch file on 04/17/06, it may or may not include the log file for 04/16/06 depending on the finaltime stamp.Other than stopping services just before midnight and then restarting, whatis the best way to always ensure that I am processing the correct day's files?John TeServices For You"Seek, and ye shall find!"---This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.Tounsubscribe, just send an E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], andtype "unsubscribe Declude.JunkMail".The archives can be foundat http://www.mail-archive.com. -- __Dean Lawrence, CIO/PartnerInternet Data Technology888.GET.IDT1 ext. 701 * fax: 888.438.4381http://www.idatatech.com/ Corporate Internet Development and Marketing Specialists
