To inform ourselves of errors on a daily basis, a script was written and is run daily to email us the error output of the logs.
Follow the procedure below to perform the same.
Step 1. Login as the dspace user.
Click on the heading above.
Step 2. Create script, by typing the following:
nano $HOME/scripts/error-logs
Copy and paste the following:
#!/bin/bash TODAY=`date +%F` LIST="root,ismith@sun.ac.za,plt@sun.ac.za" cd $HOME/log cat dspace.log.$TODAY | grep -v INFO > /tmp/dspace-error.log cat cocoon.log.$TODAY | grep -v INFO > /tmp/cocoon-error.log cat /tmp/dspace-error.log | mail -s "Error log for SUNScholar" $LIST cat /tmp/cocoon-error.log | mail -s "Error log for SUNScholar XMLUI" $LIST rm -f /tmp/dspace-error.log rm -f /tmp/cocoon-error.log
