Hi All,

I am looking for a script:
Scenario:
There is a file in Squid folder to Block access to particular sites, and there is another folder created in Squid Folder which contains the Access.acl and Blocked.acl list of blocked sites like Facebook,Orkut,etc.
Now What I'm looking for is, I want a Script, so that on Particular day Access.acl file should move to Squid folder and should get renamed as Blocked.acl in Squid folder overwriting the Original file i.,e. blocked.acl or should get renamed to xxx.acl in squid folder and vice-verse after particular time.

Will create the CronJob to run the script, only looking for the script.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
^_^LI.

Hi there,

I'm not sure I understand the details of which files you want to move, and when. I'd suggest you keep a master copy of all the files in your subfolder, and copy them to the squid folder rather than rename them, though. For example, if you have an "office hours" version and an "after hours" version of the files, call them blocked.acl.day and blocked.acl.night, and then simply copy it to blocked.acl in your squid folder when required. This way your script doesn't need to try and remember which file was last moved, and it is a simple two liner: one "cp" command to copy, and a reload of squid for the change to take effect.

If what you are trying to achieve is different rules for different times of the day, it might be easier to write your ACLs accordingly, though. See http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq...cific_times.3F for an example of this.
