Dear all,

I have one important destination in my disk where all archive logs are getting
generated. generates 1 per 15 mins.. so I dont want to lose all this archive logs as this are very much important..I copied all the files to a different linux machine before 2 days and now there are 175 files to be copied now.. is there any way I can automate using writing any script and automating using CRON.. such that the directory should be checked for new files and if any it has to be copied to the remote location immediately..


Seniors,please do help..


Thanks
Yusuf

rsync

There are a number of solutions that might work, but I would try rsync in this situation. http://samba.org/rsync/

Depending on your distribution, you may already have rsync available. Try `man rsync` and see.

Create cron job:

1 * * * * /usr/bin/rsync -av [source] [destination]

source being the files to copy from or directory where files are at
destination is well, place you want to files copied to.

man crontab for more details on how to setup cron jobs.

Thanks choogendyk and Tricky kid....

files are of mininum size 11mb , can this be acheived using rsync..

please throw some lite on this..

Thanks

rsync can handle any filesize your filesystem can support.
