Tomcat log automatic deletion implementation

ackground

In the production environment, Tomcat generates a lot of logs every day. If you don’t clean up the disk capacity, it will be enough. Manual cleaning is too much trouble. Therefore, write a script to delete the log files 5 days ago (depending on the actual situation).

Writing a script

1. Write a /usr/local/script/cleanTomcatlog.sh script

!/bin/bash

export WEB_TOMCAT1=/usr/local/tomcat1/logs
export WEB_TOMCAT2=/usr/local/tomcat2/logs
export WEB_TOMCAT3=/usr/local/tomcat3/logs
echo > ${WEB_TOMCAT1}/catalina.out
echo > ${WEB_TOMCAT2}/catalina.out
echo > ${WEB_TOMCAT3}/catalina.out
find ${WEB_TOMCAT1}/* -mtime +5 -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
find ${WEB_TOMCAT2}/* -mtime +5 -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
find ${WEB_TOMCAT3}/* -mtime +5 -type f -exec rm -f {} \;

1. Set the cleanTomcatlog.sh script to execute
   chmod a+x cleanTomcatlog.sh
2. Enter the following command
   crontab -e on the console
3. Press i to edit this text file, enter the following, restart tomcat every day at 4:30 am

Press esc to exit editing, enter wq and enter to save
30 04 * * * /usr/local/script/cleanTomcatlog.sh

Press esc to exit editing, enter wq and enter to save.

Name explanation

Explain the crontab and find commands

Crontab
can set the execution schedule of the program through crontab, for example, let the program execute at 8 o’clock every day, or every 10 o’clock on Monday.
crontab -l lists the schedule;
crontab -e to edit schedule;
crontab -d deletion schedule; “the -l” nothing to say, is a view of it; “-e” is the editor,

and vi no difference (in fact, vi is editing a specific file); “-d” basic need, because it put all the user’s schedule are removed, usually do not put a timetable for progressive deleted with “-e” editor; that How to edit it? crontab file format is: MHD md CMD. A 6 field, the last CMD is the program to be executed, such as cleanTomcatlog.sh. M: minute (0-59) H: hour (0-23) D: date (1-31) m: month (1-12) d: one day of the week (0-6, 0 for Sunday) these five fields separated by a space of time which can be a digital value, may be a plurality of numbers separated by commas (or other), if there were not set,

the default is “*.” For example, every day 04 points 30 points execution cleanTomcatlog.sh, is == 30 04 * * * /usr/local/script/cleanTomcatlog.sh==.
