RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line

It even takes leap year into consideration.

In other words, if using the following lines:
for /f tokens=1-4 delims=/ %%a IN ('DATE/T') do ( set day=%%a set mm=%%b
set dd=%%c set year=%%d set /A pd=%%c-1)
and running on 04/01/06, is %%c 03/31/06 or 04/00/06 or what?

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
John, I would suggest taking a second look at Dean's reply. The "forfiles" command acts on the date of the file and not the time stamp, so therefore you won't be having issues with timestamps. It also has the ability to go through an entire directory tree and use wildcards to find the files, and then it passes the file names in to the chained app (WinZip command line) for execution. This is about as simple as it gets. You could do the entire task in one line of code. The only caveat is that I am not sure whether or not Windows 2000 comes with forfiles, but I'm sure that you could always copy the executable over from Windows 2003 if needed.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
Hi John, Actually, it came with the NT 4 and 2000 Server Resource kits. It only started to be include with the system in 2003. Here's site where you can get the files. http://www.dynawell.com/support/Reskit/win2k.asp Forfiles works great in that it transverses all my client folders, finds the unzipped logs based upon their date and then zips them using the original file name. The second command I use does the same thing, but deletes the unzipped copy of the files that were just zipped.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
Hi John, AH, use variables to set the date and then process by date. simplicity is elegance :) 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? Well it depends. What files will be subject to archiving? Will there only be the files you wish to archive [selectable by wildcard] plus the present day? If so yes - it will work. It will see that today is 04/01/06 and exclude that from the archive [because of the -f switch] and archive/add to the archive the rest of the files. If however you have a multitude of files by date and need to pick and choose which files to archive the script needs to be modified. As Andrew knows, I am extremely poor on scripting and command line. Andrew can be a little judgmentally harsh at times. I have felt your pain. FYI, I will not be around tonight or Tuesday so I may not respond until Wednesday morning.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
Dealing with dates for doing 7 days of log files is cumbersome with a batch
file but it can be done.
I move the previous days log files (Imail,declude) of of 3 servers and
rename them for tracking purposes with a batch file. A second set of batch
files zips up the corresponding days log file from the previous month (we
keep 1 month unzipped for scanning) and monthly will remove old zipped logs
according to our policies. This uses pkzip rather than winzip.
Not an elegant solution I admit but it works. The key for me was getting the
date into DOS variable and dealing with DOS's math to set previous dates.
It worked for us a the time and we have not changed. I try and can break out
the main parts of this if any one want to kludge up their own batch file vs.
VB or some other script.

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

John,
I run the following 2 commands on my daily IIS log files.
forfiles /p c:\clients /s /d -3 /m ex*.log /c cmd /c wzzip @fname.zip
@file
forfiles /p c:\clients /s /d -3 /m ex*.log /c cmd /c del @file
I keep each of my clients log files underneath their own client directory so
I use forfiles to identify the log files and zips anything that is older
than 3 day (so that I can review if something happened over the weekend). 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.
Hope it helps,

Don't run your script at midnight but at 12:30. This will give the server plenty of time.

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.

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.

how about this. Always zip up the logs after midnight. Then for sure the

C: CD C:\WINNT\system32\LogFiles\ FOR /R %%f in (ex*.log) do C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZzip.exe -m -ex -Td01 %%~dpnf.zip %%f But isn't the problem that the -T switch looks at the file modified date and if the final line is at 12:00 AM then it will have one date but if the final line is at 11:59:59 PM it will have a different date.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
But again, if Windows sees the file as 12:00 AM 04/17/06 rather than 11:59:59 PM 04/16/06 and you are running the script on 04/17/06 then it will not include yesterdays log as Windows says it was modified today. FYI, I am doing this for IIS logs, KIWI logs as well as Declude logs so I am looking for a universal solution.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
how about this. Always zip up the logs after midnight. Then for sure the
prev day is complete and you need to ignore todays.
[I am presuming you will only have the 7 days in the dir to be zipped]
# set archive filename file name
for /f Tokens=2-4 Delims=/ %%i in ('date /t') do set
archivename=g:\imail\spool\archive%%i%%j.zip
# get todays log file name
for /f Tokens=2-4 Delims=/ %%i in ('date /t') do set
excludefilename=g:\imail\spool\sys%%i%%j.txt
# -f is a switch to exclude file names
PKZIP -f %excludefilename% %archivename% sys*.txt
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?
As Andrew knows, I am extremely poor on scripting and command line.
FYI, I will not be around tonight or Tuesday so I may not respond until
Wednesday morning.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: Help with WinZip command line
Or likewise, tell the script to do the previous 8 days and you'll always get the full list. Problem is I will then have 2 zip files with the same log, one incomplete and when I have Sawmill update its database that will cause an issue. I am trying to fully automate this process.

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.
