# Script Name : logs.py # Author : Craig Richards # Created : 13th October 2011 # Last Modified : 14 February 2016 # Version : 1.2 # # Modifications : 1.1 - Added the variable zip_program so you can set it for the zip program on whichever OS, so to run on a different OS just change the locations of these two variables. # : 1.2 - Tidy up comments and syntax # # Description : This script will search for all *.log files in the given directory, zip them using the program you specify and then date stamp them import os # Load the Library Module from time import strftime # Load just the strftime Module from Time logsdir = "c:\puttylogs" # Set the Variable logsdir zip_program = "zip.exe" # Set the Variable zip_program - 1.1 for files in os.listdir(logsdir): # Find all the files in the directory if files.endswith(".log"): # Check to ensure the files in the directory end in .log files1 = ( files + "." + strftime("%Y-%m-%d") + ".zip" ) # Create the Variable files1, this is the files in the directory, then we add a suffix with the date and the zip extension os.chdir(logsdir) # Change directory to the logsdir os.system( zip_program + " " + files1 + " " + files ) # Zip the logs into dated zip files for each server. - 1.1 os.remove(files) # Remove the original log files
