LogManager - lm (Kickstart 37+ required in order to run!)
---------------------------------------------------------

Finally I got tired of all these logfiles filling up my HD and wrote
lm. What lm does is to pick a range from your logfiles and place it
in another file located in t: The range can be selected either by date,
filesize or number of lines. You can then archive (or throw away) your
old logfile.

lm is PD and you are using it at your own risk. It may not be sold
for money, and this doc must be included when it is spread.


Just type 'lm' to bring up the syntax : (opts are CASE-sensitive)

lm (c) 1992, Niklas Sjöberg, 2:203/415.3@Fidonet

lm dnn|lnn|snn LOG_FILE
Output:  t:lm_log.tmp


Default (and hardcoded) output is ALWAYS t:lm_log.tmp and if an old file
exists it will be erased.

dnn	Useful for logfiles from programs such as Trapdoor, Traptoss,
	Foozle etc. which produces lines in the form: 1 control-character
	("!","~","|" etc.), one blank or tab and then a date in the
	form dd-mmm-yy (or dd-mm-yy) which is DOS default form.
	nn specifies how old lines you wish to keep, counted in days
	from the current date in your system (be sure to use setclock!).
	If the log contains lines with a date in another form, or no date
	at all they will be written to the destinationfile t:lm_log.tmp.

lnn	Specifies the number of lines you wish to keep. Of course the
	newest lines will be saved. nn may range from 1-...

snn	Specifies in bytes how large you want your new logfile to become.
	No consideration to "lines" are taken, so the file can be cut
	in the middle of some text. Mostly useful for floppy-users.
 

You may only specify one of these options at the time.

If an error occured or your logfile didn't need processing lm will
abort and fail with errorcode 21 (If dos-error occured this will be
printed using your selected language in locale).

Typical script :

lm d30 mail:TrapDoor.log  ;Only keep one month of log.
; If log didn't need processing or an error occured the next lines
; will never be executed.
lha u mail:Td_logs mail:TrapDoor.log
Delete mail:TrapDoor.log
copy t:lm_log.tmp mail:TrapDoor.log

Users with very small HD's :

lm l100 mail:TrapDoor.log
delete mail:TrapDoor.log
copy t:lm_log.tmp mail:TrapDoor.log


Floppy-users :

lm s5000 df0:TrapDoor.log
delete df0:TrapDoor.log
copy t:lm_log.tmp df0:Trapdoor.log
