7. Log file rotation

The log files tend to grow very large. It's a good idea if you rotate the log files and compress the older ones.

7.1 Linux

Create a file called /etc/logrotate.d/adsm. Here is the contents:

/usr/adsm/dsmsched.log {
    missingok
    postrotate
        /bin/touch /usr/adsm/dsmsched.log
    endscript
}

/usr/adsm/dsmerror.log {
    missingok
    postrotate
        /bin/touch /usr/adsm/dsmerror.log
    endscript
}

/usr/adsm/dsmsched.pru {
    missingok
    postrotate
        /bin/touch /usr/adsm/dsmsched.pru
    endscript
}

7.2 Other UNIX

You should have a root crontab entry as follows:

1       2       *       *       0       /usr/adsm/rotate-adsm

#!/bin/sh
#
# Script to rotate and compress the TSM log files.

LOG1=/usr/adsm/dsmsched.log
LOG2=/usr/adsm/dsmsched.pru
LOG3=/usr/adsm/dsmerror.log
LOG4=/var/adm/backup.log

for LogFile in $LOG1 $LOG2 $LOG3 $LOG4; do

   if [ -f $LogFile.1.gz ]; then
      /sbin/rm $LogFile.1.gz
   fi

   if [ -f $LogFile ]; then
      /sbin/mv $LogFile  $LogFile.1
      /usr/sbin/gzip $LogFile.1
   fi

   /sbin/touch $LogFile

done
