Hi, i have a directory that i check all file with ".log" suffix. but i have a 3 file there m that we don't want to send to Envision. have some way to make it? i know that i can use the option of filespec , the reason that i did not use it , it's because i have a 10 other file that i want to send thank you

I changed "find" command in nicsftpagent.sh from

find . $FILESPEC  -type f -print | awk 'BEGIN{FS="/"} {print $2}' | while read i

to

find . -maxdepth 1 -regex "$FILESPEC" -type f -print | awk 'BEGIN{FS="/"} {print $2}' | while read i

and in nicsftpagent.conf I use something like that

FILESPEC="\./\(mail\.log\|boot\.log\|access.*\)"

thats mean we look for files mail.log  boot.log and access.*

In the latest version of the nicsftpagent.sh script (v2.7.11) it is noted that FILESPEC can contain multiple items, separated by colons.

## Enter the file matching specification.  "*" will send any files in the directory. Separate

## multiple fielnames with a colon (:).

## Example for multiple files::

## FILESPEC=*.log:xyz.log

The code has been re-written to process the FILESPEC as an array.

for i in `echo "$FILESPEC" | awk '{split($0, a, ":"); for (k in a) print a; }'` #Array has been added to $FILESPEC to support multiple filenames for multiple folders

I've never seen a README file showing how the script has changed or evolved, I've taken to downloading it now and then and diff'ing versions to see what's changed.

But only in one directory, what about when you have to grab logs from different folders ?

/var/log1/app1/access.log

/var/log2/app2/apache.*

v2.7.11 also supports multiple directories.  The script appears to walk each directory for each FILESPEC, which could create some interesting situations when you have multiple entries in both.

## Enter the directories where the data files, which you need to send, exist.  Separate

## multiple directories with a colon (:).  This script must have read permissions

## to the directories.

## Example for multiple folders DATA_DIRECTORY=/var/log/:/var/log/audit

DATA_DIRECTORY=/var/log/

The PDF the describes the script hasn't been updated since 2010, so you pretty much have to browse the script with each new revision to find these additions...
