Automatically Moving Archive to Backup Location

Today I have been asked by one of my friend to write another script which automatically move archivelog to backup location once its going to full.  I wrote a script which periodically check (cron) every hours to check the free space in archive mount point and move to backup location if required.

#!/bin/ksh

 

printf "\n  Automatically move Archivelogs to other mountpoint once getting full ---  \n"

 

retcode=$?

 

filesize=`df -k |grep /u02 | awk '{ print $5 }'`

mname=`df -k | grep /u02 | awk '{ print $6 }'`

 

mpct=${filesize//%}

 

 

  if [ $retcode != '0' ]; then

     printf "FATAL ERROR \n"

     ERROR_FLG='1'

  else

     if [ $mpct -gt 50 ]; then

        printf "\n  Alert - Mountpoint - $mname is above 50 and  $mpct pct  - utilizezd ...\n"

 

        printf "\n  Message : Start Clearing Mount point ....... \n"

        printf "\n  Running ........... \n"

 

        mv /u02/Archive/*.arc /Backup/

 

        printf "\n  Finished ........... \n"

        newsize=`df -k |grep /u02 | awk '{ print $5 }'`

        nsize=${newsize//%}

        printf "\n Current Utilization $mname is $nsize\n"

     else

        printf "\n  Filesystem is stable and available is $mpct \n"

     fi

  fi

 

Create an entry in cron tab with periodically check every hour.
