And on several of our servers will miss some events we need in the log.
Any entries that fall between the two 'cp' commands get zapped. (btw: It
would be better to move the 'chmod' after the second 'cp' to reduce this)
These events will be gone forever and may represent billable or auditable
content. beware... What is wrong with signalling the server once a day?
Also, this makes a $DAY of something like 'May_1999' You might try:
DAY=`date +"%d_%b_%Y"` or DAY=`date +"%Y_%m%b_%d"`
which produce '20_May_1999' or '1999_05May_20'. I prefer the second as it
sorts better in pure 'ls' form.
Hope this helps - Jy@
