[mrtg] Re: increased granularity

[Tim Kennedy]

Truly, it's easiest done with a shell script.
I have one file that has a list of all my routers, so that makes it easy.
And this is a file that I wrote for rolling my syslogs.  I modified it a
little for here, but it should either work, or be very easy to make work.

Something like this:
###############
#! /bin/sh
#
# This file assumes a list of routers in /usr/local/mrtg/etc
# called routerlist.
#
# It assumes that you use /usr/local/mrtg/www as the "home" dir
# for all your WorkDirs, and that the WorkDirs are named after 
# the routers.
# thus all files for rtr1.foo.com would be in
# /usr/local/mrtg/www/rtr1.foo.com/
# Just edit your paths, or whange what you need to to make it work
# for you.
# -Tim
#
CFGDIR="/usr/local/mrtg/www/"
ARCDIR="archive"
DATE=`/bin/date +%Y%m%d`

for i in `cat /usr/local/mrtg/etc/routerlist`; do
    for j in `ls -l $CFGDIR/$i/ | awk '{print $9}' | grep day` ;
        cp $CFGDIR/$i/$j $CFGDIR/$i/$ARCDIR/$j.$DATE
    done                                                 
done
