I am looking for a clever way to do the new serial number. Date will do the first bit no problem (date +%Y%m%d), but I'd love to find a clever way to auto increment the last 2 digits unless it's a new day. Then I could use the same script every time.

The serial number should be updated since the zone file is being updated. The sed command could be used to do that as well. for zonefile in `ls *.com` do sed -e s/604800/709600/ -e s/200[0-9][0-1][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]/2009032401/ $zonefile >${zonefile}.new mv $zonefile ${zonefile}.old mv ${zonefile}.new $zonefile done The above does the same expiration value replacement as earlier and also changes the serial number to current day (2009032401 as of this writing). This substitution is based on the preferred serial number syntax of: CCYYMMDDsq where sq is a sequence number (01 being first). It assumes all the zone files have a current serial number using that in the current decade (2000s) and no sequence number higher than 99. The pattern would have to be adjusted if those assumptions weren't valid. -----Original Message----- From: bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org [mailto:bind-users-boun...@lists.isc.org] On Behalf Of Alan Clegg Sent: Tuesday, March 24, 2009 4:31 PM To: bind-users@lists.isc.org Subject: Re: Make changes en mass [done] John D.
