nagios backup script question

[benhank]

Hello all!
What do I need to do to make the nagios backup script use regular time instead of unix time?
And would I have to make any changes to the restore script?
(stop laffin..)

Copy the script first as XI upgrades will overwrite it (DISCLAIMER - When we change the script for necessary upgrades, you will have to reapply the following, assuming the following will still work):

Code: Select all

cp /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi.sh /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts/backup_xi_benhank_style.sh

On line 110 of the script backup_xi_benhank_style.sh, add the following:

Code: Select all

bhts=$(date +"%m-%d-%y")
mv $ts.tar.gz "$bhts".tar.gz
echo "Backup is actually stored in $rootdir/$bhts.tar.gz"
echo "*Not* where the script will tell you it is below, it lies!"

bhts = benhank timestamp or better human timestamp

As always, give it a test. The restore procedure should work as it grabs the filename passed to it and loads it into a variable. As there are no spaces in this name, it should work ok, though it does not include hours, minutes, etc. Let me know if you have issues with it.
