Error list -- Log checking script

[pbellamy]

I'm using rsync-2.4.6 to sync web content between AIX boxes and Perl to
check the output of the log files (from the --verbose option) for
problems/errors encountered during synchronization.

Anyone aware of a list of possible errors that could be reported
back/encountered? i.e what regular expression/s should I be searching for
other than "/error/i" to indicate errors?

Or -- if anyone has done anything similar, I'd appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the input,
Peter Bellamy


Here's the Perl script I'm using:

   ==>vi checklogs.pl
   "checklogs.pl" 28 lines, 557 characters
       +1   #!/usr/bin/perl
       +2   # 07.02.2001
       +3   # pkbellamy 2151
       +4   # /opt/rsync/checklogs.pl
       +5   # check rsync logs for errors
       +6
       +7   # Require explicit variable declarations
       +8   use strict;
       +9
      +10   # Variables
      +11   my ($date,$logfile,$logline,$worries);
      +12   $worries=0;
      +13
      +14   $logfile="/opt/rsync/logs/rsync.log";
      +15   open (LOGFILE,"<$logfile") || die "Argh!\n";
      +16   while (<LOGFILE>) {
      +17      chomp;
      +18      if (/error/i) {
      +19         print "ERROR: $_\n";
      +20         $worries++;
      +21      }
      +22   }
      +23
      +24   print "No worries mate.\n" if ($worries==0);
      +25
      +26   close (LOGFILE);


The script's ouput when the log contains an I/O error:
   ==>./checklogs.pl
   ERROR: IO error encountered - skipping file deletion
   root@serverA:/opt/rsync
   ==>

The output when the log contains no errors:
   ==>./checklogs.pl
   No worries mate.
   root@serverA:/opt/rsync
   ==>
