- DISCLAIMER :
-
- This program is distributed (AS IS) I will guarantee nothing.
- I will not be responsible for any problems with your system due to the use
- of this program .
-
- This program has been tested , and WORKS , however improper use could
- result in lost DATA . Please read and Understand the usage of this program
- before you use it .
-
- You should also understand the usage of the archive type you chose to store
- your logs in IE: PKZIP , LHARC , Etc.
-
-
-
- WHAT IT DOES :
-
- Store Log is a program I wrote to archive the logs on my BBS each day in
- an event . The program will archive and store the log under the current
- date and then delete your original log file (optional).
-
- EXAMPLE :
-
- The date is 08-08-1991 and I want to archive my Remote Access log it
- would look like this .
-
- SLOG C:\RA\LOG\RA.LOG
-
- The program would look in my directory c:\ra\log\ for a file name
- RA.LOG and archive it as 08-08-91.ZIP, (USING PKZIP AS THE ARCHIVE'R) .
-
- You don't have to use Pkzip if you don't want to you may use any other
- archive'r you like (refer to the SLOG.CFG file for more information).
-
- DELETE:
-
- Then the program will delete the original log file (this is optional)
- if you keep the old file the next time the program, is run it will
- archive the same data defeating the purpose of SLOG .
-
- If you do not want to delete the original file you would put
- DELETE,OFF on the line in the SLOG.CFG file
-
-
- ARCHIVE:
-
- When choosing an archive'r other than PKZIP you may have to also include
- other data the program needs to create the archive .
- lharc would need (LHARC A) on the config line marked Archive .
- (Please read the DOC'S for the archive'r you use)
- IE: ARCHIVE,LHARC A
-
- It is also important (NOT) to run the program more than once a day
- (for each file archived) . If you ran SLOG at 12:00 archiving
- Dbridge.log , and ran it again at 23:59 for Dbridge.log it would
- over write the old part of the log .
-
- You can run it as many times as you like with different file names .
- If you do this I would use the Update command in the the archive'r
- sample line in SLOG.CFG, ( Archiver,PKZIP -U ) .
-
- I run it for three log files ,Dbridge.log,Binkley.log , and Ra.log
- it will create one file with the current date as it's name ,and store
- each of the three files in the (ONE) Archive .
-
- You would have to run the program three times , once for each log to
- be added to the archive .
-
- EXAMPLE :
-
- c:
- cd\logs
- slog c:\db\log\dbridge.log
- slog c:\binkley\binkley.log
- slog c:\ra\ra.log
- c:
- cd\db
-
- This would (using PKZIP -U) go to the area I store my dated archived
- files in , create one archive with the current date IE: XX-XX-XX.zip
- store the three files in the archive , then return to original directory.
-
- NOTE :
-
- When the program is run the archive will be placed in the directory
- where the SLOG is run from . This is why I change my directory to
- C:\logs\ (you should have SLOG in this directory), it also lets me view the
- logs easier when researching problems.
-
- Also you should have a path to the Archiver you are using .
-
- EXAMPLE :
-
- AUTOEXEC.BAT
- path= c:\;c:\dos;c:\pkzip
-
- If you don't understand how the path statement works please read your
- DOS Manual for more information .
-
-
- LOGNAME:
-
- This is the name of a log file SLOG will append to each time it is run
- It will put the date time , and file name that is stored .
-
- NOTE:
- If you use (NONE) for the logname then SLOG will not create a log
- file , LOGNAME,NONE in SLOG.CFG will not create a Log of its use.

- Sample slog.cfg :
-
- ; *** Please make note of the comma's they have, to be in this file ***
- ; *** and must be just before the option IE:( ARCHIVE,PKZIP -U ). ***
- ;
- ; Archive is the type of archive you want
- ;
- ; This can be any Archiver you want but you must put the complete
- ; Command line in with the name .
- ;
- ; lha211 a -m
- ; PKZIP -U
- ; pak a
- ; Pkarc a
- ;
- ARCHIVE,PKZIP -U
- ;
- ; delete is the command to tell slog to delete the log after archiving
- ; the default is to delete the old file .
- ; options are ON and OFF
- ;
- DELETE,ON
- ;
- ; logname is the name of the file that slog will create/append
- ; when it is run . If you use NONE then no log will be made .
- ;
- ;
- LOGNAME,SLOG.LOG
