How to create shell script for creating logs on linux server based on hostname

Question

All,

I have a requirement that if the hostname of the server starts with tm1 or dm1 then it should create gz1 format of log files , if the hostname starts with pc1 then it should create bz1 format of logs.

I have created a generic shell script to create tar files of log files :

#!/bin/bash

#START
TIME=$(date +%Y%-m%-d)            
FILENAME=logsbackup-$TIME.tar.gz  
SRCDIR=/var/log/
DESDIR=/var/          
find $SRCDIR -mtime +1 | xargs tar -cpzf $DESDIR/$FILENAME
#END

How can I implement the above mentioned changes in my script.

You can use a condition like this:

#!/bin/bash

#START
TIME=$(date +%Y%-m%-d)            
FILENAME=logsbackup-$TIME.tar  
SRCDIR=/var/log/
DESDIR=/var/
host=$(hostname)

if [[ $host == @(tm1|dm1)* ]]; then
    echo "creating gz format"
    find $SRCDIR -mtime +1 -print0 | xargs -0 tar -cpzf $DESDIR/$FILENAME.gz
elif [[ $host == pc1* ]]; then
    echo "creating bz2 format"
    find $SRCDIR -mtime +1 | xargs -0 tar -cjf $DESDIR/$FILENAME.bz2
fi

# END

For that try: find /var -name 'logsbackup*gz' -mtime +10 -delete
