I have in /etc/logrotate.d/mikrotik :
/var/log/mikrotik.log {
rotate 2
daily
compress
dateext
dateyesterday
dateformat .%Y-%m-%d
postrotate
#/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d syslog-ng reload >/dev/null
rsync -avH /var/log/mikrotik*.gz /backup/logs/mikrotik/
/usr/lib/rsyslog/rsyslog-rotate
endscript
}
The mikrotik.log.YYYY-MM-DD.gz file is created daily
The problem is that rsync in postrotate doesn't copy the last file. For example, on September 25, 2021, there are such files in /var/log:
-rw-r ----- 1 root adm 37837 Sep 24 23:49 mikrotik.log. 2021-09-24.gz
-rw-r ----- 1 root adm 36980 Sep 25 23:55 mikrotik.log. 2021-09-25.gz
and in /backup/logs/mikrotik/ are only:
-rw-r ----- 1 root adm 35495 Sep 23 00:00 mikrotik.log. 2021-09-22.gz
-rw-r ----- 1 root adm 36842 Sep 23 23:58 mikrotik.log. 2021-09-23.gz
-rw-r ----- 1 root adm 37837 Sep 24 23:49 mikrotik.log. 2021-09-24.gz
There is no file mikrotik.log.2021-09-25.gz from Sep 25 23:55 it will not be copied until the next rotation.
How to make a file packed today copied by postrotate ?
Problem solved.
It relied on the order in which the operations were performed.
Lgrotate does a 'postrotate' section before compressing to .gz.
The solution to the problem was to change the name from 'postrotate' to 'lastaction'.
Starting from El Capitan the system got System Integrity Protection which doesn't allow certain activities for some folders and files. Using Terminal "ls lO" command you can see flags that specific file or folder has.

I'm interested in "restricted" flag. How can it be found using Swift without executing terminal commands?
I want to emphasize that executing Process() in code is not an approach that suits the needs.
"Hidden" flag can be detected via "isHidden" property from here URLResourceKey. However there is nothing about "restricted".
Could somebody point me to the right direction?
The things listed by the -O option on the ls tool are the file flags. These can be read by the stat() function in the BSD layer, and are found in the st_flags field of the resulting structure.
The "restricted" flag in ls's output corresponds to SF_RESTRICTED, so you can read it by doing something like this:
func isRestricted(at url: URL) throws -> Bool {
let flags: UInt32 = try url.withUnsafeFileSystemRepresentation { fsRep in
var info = stat()
if stat(fsRep, &info) != 0 {
guard let code = POSIXError.Code(rawValue: errno) else {
throw CocoaError(.fileReadUnknown)
}
throw POSIXError(code)
}
return info.st_flags
}
return flags & UInt32(bitPattern: SF_RESTRICTED) != 0
}
I am trying to touch a file(for referencing date) with a future date something like -
Current date - $date
Fri Jan 6 03:59:55 EST 2017
touch -t 201702032359.59 /var/tmp/ME_FILE_END
on checking the timestamp of the file as -
$ ls -lrt /var/tmp/ME_FILE_END
getting an output with only date and not the entire timestamp(hhmm.sec)
-rw-r--r-- 1 abcproc abc 0 Feb 3 2017 /var/tmp/ME_FILE_END
But for a date with is less than or equal to current it gives correct result -
touch -t 201612010000.00 /var/tmp/ME_FILE_START
ls -lrt /var/tmp/ME_FILE_START
-rw-r--r-- 1 abcproc abc 0 Dec 1 00:00 /var/tmp/ME_FILE_START
Can someone please suggest why this discrepancy ?
It's just the way ls displays the date. When far from now, the modification time is not displayed.
If you want details regarding the last access / modification / change time, you should be using stat.
stat /var/tmp/ME_FILE_END
You will see the expected output.
For example:
[10:29:41]dabi#gaia:~$ touch -t 201702032359.59 /var/tmp/ME_FILE_END
[10:29:43]dabi#gaia:~$ ls -ltr /var/tmp/ME_FILE_END
-rw-rw-r-- 1 dabi dabi 0 feb. 3 2017 /var/tmp/ME_FILE_END
[10:29:47]dabi#gaia:~$ stat /var/tmp/ME_FILE_END

Using Perl's Net::SSH::Except, there is a method called read_line which allows me to read every line of the output.
I want to use Net::OpenSSH but I can't find anything similar.
How do you write this SSH::Except method using OpenSSH?
$ssh->send("ls\r\n");
while ( defined( $line = $ssh->read_line() ) {
# do something
}
The Net::OpenSSH module provides a capture method which will capture all the output. If called in list context will return the output line by line
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::OpenSSH;
my $host = "localhost";
my %opts = (
user => 'cdoyle',
password => 'thisisnottherealpassword',
);
my $ssh = Net::OpenSSH->new($host, %opts);
my #output = $ssh->capture('ls -lrta');
my $count=0;
foreach my $line (#output){
$count++;
print "line $count $line";
}
gives the output

I am having some issue here using LWP::Simple to get ftp site content in Perl. It would work fine if the site used http, but not ftp, for example ftp://ftp.di.uminho.pt/pub/ctan/fonts/. But in my firefox browser, I can view the content as html.
So how to get the html of the site in this case?
LWP returns a document of the type text/ftp-dir-listing for a FTP directory. Use File::Listing to parse it.
$ GET -USe ftp://ftp.di.uminho.pt/pub/ctan/fonts/

You probably want to use Net::FTP instead:
use Net::FTP;
$ftp = Net::FTP->new("some.host.name", Debug => 0)
or die "Cannot connect to some.host.name: $#";
$ftp->cwd("/pub")
or die "Cannot change working directory ", $ftp->message;
$ftp->get("that.file")
or die "get failed ", $ftp->message;
$ftp->quit;
Firefox will internally generate an HTML document when you are viewing an FTP directory. The FTP server won't provide one.
If you want one, then you will have to iterate over the files and directories and generate your own.
