Intorduction
---------------------------------------------------
I'm not one in to doc files, but there has been a
bunch of messages on a log renamer and tosser.
well here it is.... the Multi-Purpose do it all but
windows.....
How to Install
---------------------------------------------------
First off the cfg file goes .... thats right in you
configfiles directory, and the other well put it
where you want...
What does it do?
---------------------------------------------------
well this little proggy does everything asked and a
bit more.... I have tested it only a litttle but
I belive that it wont mess up on ya...
1. It will take all *.log files in your mebbs dir
doesnt matter if you get something in the future
like Freddy's-fun.log as long as it has the .log
it will toss it.
2. the config file (will grow I'm sure) allows you
to have the files go where ever you want, this
way you dont have to edit the arexx program to
adjust it.
3. You can have the files tossed to where ever how
ever you want... huh?
In english, this means you can have the files
tossed in to your favorit directory with the
name changed to one of the following:
FILENAME.LOG_DAY_MONTH_YEAR
YEAR_MONTH_DAY_FILENAME.LOG
DAY_FILENAME.LOG_YEAR_MONTH
Please note that these are just examples and
you have four keywords to play with.
***Note Each keyword must be used, and only used
once....
so there cant be a FILENAME.LOG_YEAR_FILENAME.LOG
4. Back in the config again there is another entry
at line 11, this is weather you want auto deletion
of your logs or not, if so just change the words
to the number of days that you want it to save,
if you have 30 then you will keep a listing of 30days
prior to deletion....
5. Do not change name format once you have started the
system as I'm not even sure what the outcome may be...
