[afnog] mv not mv-ing :-(

[Frank Habicht]

Hi,

details below.
it's a FreeBSD box (6.0) and i want to run flowd.
well, maybe the fact that I want to run flowd 0.9 on FreeBSD 6.0
is part of the problem??

i want to rotate the flowd flow data log file regularly, automatically, cron
will come to mind - later.

it the "run_vipimo_stats.sh" script below the 'mv' between the 2 'echo $?'
doesn't seem to do what i want (still the echo says result was no error
i've tried the mv with a -f , with -v here and without those  -- same.



[root at mx3 vipimo]# pwd

[root at mx3 vipimo]# cat run_vipimo_stats.sh
#!/bin/sh

FLOWDIR=/var/log/flowd

cd ${FLOWDIR}
echo $?
mv -v flowd flowd-`date '+%F-%H-%M-%S'`
echo $?
#/bin/mv  ${FLOWLOGFILE} ${MYFLOWFILE}
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/flowd.pid`
if (date '+%M' | grep '^0'>/dev/null) then
# /usr/local/bin/wget -q -O ${NLRI_FILE} ${NLRI_URL}
fi

#run_perl_cruncher
cd ${VIPIMODIR}
/usr/local/bin/flowd-reader ${MYFLOWFILE} | ${CRUNCH_PROG}

#rm or mv
if [ "${FLOWARCHIVEDIR}" ]; then
 /bin/mv -f ${MYFLOWFILE} ${FLOWARCHIVEDIR}/ 2>/dev/null
else
 /bin/rm -f ${MYFLOWFILE} 2>/dev/null
fi

as per the date shown i expected to get a file
/var/log/flowd/flowd-2007-09-18-20-23-07
but can't really see it...
the 'l' in the last command is an alias for 'ls -la' btw.

now the strange thing
It works on another 6.2 FreeBSD box (was fresh 6.2 install)

and even stranger:
I updated the 6.0 to a 6.2 FreeBSD - looks good (for a first), but that script
still doesn't "mv" :-(

Now, before I start crying, I thought I ask you guys.

Thanks,
Frank
