# Script Name : logs.py

# Author : Craig Richards

# Created : 13th October 2011

# Last Modified : 14 February 2016

# Version : 1.2

#

# Modifications : 1.1 - Added the variable zip_program so you can set it for the zip program on whichever OS, so to run on a different OS just change the locations of these two variables.

# : 1.2 - Tidy up comments and syntax

#

# Description : This script will search for all *.log files in the given directory, zip them using the program you specify and then date stamp them

import os # Load the Library Module

from time import strftime # Load just the strftime Module from Time

logsdir="c:\puttylogs" # Set the Variable logsdir

zip_program="zip.exe" # Set the Variable zip_program - 1.1

for files in os.listdir(logsdir): # Find all the files in the directory

if files.endswith(".log"): # Check to ensure the files in the directory end in .log

files1=files+"."+strftime("%Y-%m-%d")+".zip" # Create the Variable files1, this is the files in the directory, then we add a suffix with the date and the zip extension

os.chdir(logsdir) # Change directory to the logsdir

os.system(zip_program + " " + files1 +" "+ files) # Zip the logs into dated zip files for each server. - 1.1

os.remove(files) # Remove the original log files
