Re: [Networker] Changing saveset directories on the fly

In regard to: [Networker] Changing saveset directories on the fly, mgolden...:

Okay, I ended up writing a script to create an nsradmin input file to
change the save set directory daily before it runs.  The first half of
it is a "determine yesterday's date" script I found online.  Why
reinvent the wheel, right? :)  Here's the script&#058;


Thanks for posting!  You've probably saved someone a lot of time down
the road.

Just a heads up -- if you're on a platform where the GNU version of the
date command is available, all of the date scripting can be replaced with
this:

        date -d yesterday +%Y%m%d

That doesn't work with standard UNIX "date", but GNU date is so handy it's
one of my "must have's" for quick NetWorker related scripts.  It also
supports using %s for seconds since the UNIX epoch, which can be
handy when doing scripting with mminfo and nsavetime.
