NAME

LogEssentialsUpdt - create/write LogEssentials reports for all DataBackup session log files

 

SYNOPSIS

WA2LSimpleBackup/bin/LogEssentialsUpdt [ -h | -V ]

LogEssentialsUpdt [ -n ] [ 2>NUL ]

 

AVAILABILITY

WA2L/SimpleBackup

 

DESCRIPTION

the LogEssentialsUpdt command provides a convenient and fast way to create LogEssentials(1) reports for each DataBackup session log file var/log/DataBackup.<TIMESTAMP>.<BACKUPNAME>.log.

The related report file var/rpt/DataBackup.<TIMESTAMP>.<BACKUPNAME>.LogEssentials.txt is only created when it does not exist already.

The command output shows for which log file a LogEssentials.txt report is created ( --+--> ) and for which there is already a report existing ( -----> ).

If the output of stderr, is sent to NUL the LogEssentialsUpdt command output is more compact / less verbose. See section EXAMPLES for more information.
