I've been doing this for a while, but didn't send-pr it because I thought people might object. Now it's all configurable, I can't see a problem, so the attached patch will do this. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Index: defaults/periodic.conf =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/cvs/src/etc/defaults/periodic.conf,v retrieving revision 1.1 diff -u -r1.1 periodic.conf --- periodic.conf 2000/06/23 01:18:21 1.1 +++ periodic.conf 2000/06/23 23:42:19 @@ -68,6 +68,7 @@ # 310.accounting daily_accounting_enable="YES" # Rotate acct files +daily_accounting_compress="NO" # Gzip rotated files # 320.distfile daily_distfile_enable="YES" # Run rdist daily Index: periodic/daily/310.accounting =================================================================== RCS file: /usr/cvs/src/etc/periodic/daily/310.accounting,v retrieving revision 1.4 diff -u -r1.4 310.accounting --- 310.accounting 2000/06/23 01:18:23 1.4 +++ 310.accounting 2000/06/23 23:25:56 @@ -19,10 +19,28 @@ echo "Rotating accounting logs and gathering statistics:" cd /var/account - [ -f acct.2 ] && mv -f acct.2 acct.3 - [ -f acct.1 ] && mv -f acct.1 acct.2 - [ -f acct.0 ] && mv -f acct.0 acct.1 + + # Delete any old files left around if the user changes from + # non-compressed to compressed or vice-versa. + find . -name 'acct.*' -mtime +5 -delete + + # Does the user want the files compressed? + case "$daily_accounting_compress" in + [Yy][Ee][Ss]) + ext=".gz" ;; + *) + ext="" ;; + esac + + [ -f acct.2$ext ] && mv -f acct.2$ext acct.3$ext + [ -f acct.1$ext ] && mv -f acct.1$ext acct.2$ext + [ -f acct.0$ext ] && mv -f acct.0$ext acct.1$ext cp -pf acct acct.0 sa -s >/dev/null + + case "$daily_accounting_compress" in + [Yy][Ee][Ss]) + gzip -f acct.0 ;; + esac fi;; esac >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
