A shell script to archive web logs on DreamHost.

archive_logs

#!/bin/bash

# DreamHost Web Log Archiver
#
# DreamHost only stores web logs for a few days (configurable 3-30 days),
# so to maintain long term logs, an archive copy must be maintained.
#
# This script copies new gzipped http/https log files from logs/ to
# logs_archive/
#
# Setup as a daily cron job:
# @daily    ./cronic ./archive_logs
