logs

hi, i'd like to know if there is a way to get the number of the first log on the log tape

Try this script. Make sure to have execute permission on it. Better to run as informix. Tested on Linux 6.2 & IDS 9.21 UC3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ #!/bin/sh tput clear echo "Enter tape id (0,1,2) \\c" read resp echo "This process will take 5 to 10 minutes" echo "Please be patient...thanks" mt -f /dev/nst1 rewind sleep 300 echo "" onlog -d /dev/nst1 < /home/informix/script/keystroke 1> /tmp/dumplog grep BEGIN /tmp/dumplog | awk ' { print $5 } ' | sort -uecho "" echo "Done...these are the logs on this tape." echo "Please label the tape." --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good luck.
