************************************************************************** * CLEAN * * SMAUG MUD Log Cleaning Utility * * Version 2.0 * ************************************************************************** ------------Background Info------------ Hello there, if you are reading this, I'll truely be amazed seeing as I usually don't read ReadMe files either. Anyway I made this cause I got sick of deleting all the log files on the SMAUG MUD I help run. This script works rather well, however it still has some bugs. Some of you who know a lot about shell scripts will probably see some of what I did and ask "what the hell was he thinking?!?". Well I do a lot of things in a round-a-bout way, so if you know how to make it more efficient, just drop me a line please, and I'll include you in the credits. ------------About the Script------------ Exactly what does Clean do? Well thats easy.. what it does is when run it lists all of your log files, and omits to most recent(one the MUD is currently writing to if it's up). Then it puts all but the most recent log file into a file, compresses that file, names it today's date, and moves it to a Backlog directory. Also, the data.cln file is basically the clean script, I did it that way so I could give clean an argument and have it do stuff(This is one of those things I did in a round-a-bout way as mentioned above). But please keep clean with data.cln. Also this script is absulutey free! And if you know any other SMAUG MUDs, give them this script freely. I say only SMAUG 'cause I have yet to try it on any other. ------------Installation Notes------------ Only one thing to remember while installing, just put clean and data.cln in the log directory and thats it. ------------Final Note------------ Again, if you have any ideas how to improve clean, please email them to me, also if you have any further questions, also email me.
