- Description
-
- LogSave is a program that can be run on a daily basis to
- automatically save log files to an archive. The files will be
- inserted to the archive in the format of <basename>.nnn, where
- 'nnn' is the next number in sequence if there are already
- previous logs in the file, and 'basename' is the original name
- of the log file (less, of course, the file extension).
-
- Currently, it is not possible to choose your favorite
- archiver. It is fixed to use PKZIP, which must exist in your
- current directory, or a directory specified in the PATH
- environment variable.
-
- LogSave is a 'bound' program, so it can run in either DOS or
- OS/2 with no modification.
-
-
- Usage
-
- LogSave [Archive_File_Name]
- /LogFiles=( LogFileName, LogFileName, ... )
- /[No]Backup Default: NoBackup
- /[no]Quiet Default: NoQuiet
- /[no]Kill Default: NoKill
- /TempFile=<filename> Default: LogSave.$$$
-
- Notes on the syntax:
-
- Qualifiers can appear in any order, and are only
- significant to four characters. Thus, /TempFile is the
- same as /Temp.

- Ok. Now with that out of the way -- please send me mail and

- been for me. Also, please send any comments and/or problem

- Parameters
-
-
- LogFileName
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- This parameter is a fully qualified path of the log file, or
- if the log file is in the current directory, just the log name
- itself.
-
- You can include up to 25 different log file specifications.
- Separate each log file with a comma.
-
-
- /[no]backup
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- If you specify /Backup, LogSave will create a <logfile>.BAK
- file after the successful archival of the log file. I run
- LogSave each day at midnight, and have found this useful if I
- want to quickly look at yesterday's log, and not have to
- bother to uncompress it from the archive. The backup file
- will be created in the same directory as the original log
- file.
-
- /[no]quiet
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- This qualifier controls whether the program should emit an
- printed output. If /Quiet, the only output will be the
- program copyright line. The default is /NoQuiet.
-
-
- /[no]Kill
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- If LogSave detects a successful compression of the log file,
- you can specify /Kill to have LogSave automatically delete the
- log file. The file will *not* be deleted if it was not
- successfully archived.
-
-
- /[no]TempFile
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- LogSave needs the use of a temporary file. It will normally
- be very small, and will be deleted after LogSave is finished
- with it.

- Example
-
- The following example is broken apart on several lines for
- display reasons. It would be entered on one line when
- actually executed.
-
- LogSave c:\bbs\logs\logs.zip
- /kill
- /logfiles=( c:\bbs\max\system\max01.log,
- c:\bbs\logs\binkley.log,
- c:\bbs\logs\bbs.log )
