[Sunhelp] Scripts

[Leon Halford - Open Systems Solutions Ltd]

Easy answer without scripting:

1. Edit root crontab to run the default newsyslog command everyday.

2. Add a new cron entry similar to this:

   find /var/adm -type f -name "messages*" -mtime +0 -print -exec rm {} \;

   It will mail the root account with the files it deletes each day.

   If you want to suppress the mail redirect the above command to
   /dev/null.

hello everyone, can someone give me a short script file that would edit
/var/adm/messages and delete messages earlier than yesterday?

or can anyone give me a referral to mailing lists on script writing?

thanks a lot..
