The Bungling Sys Admin. Location of sys admin info, as well as bonehead mistakes made by myself or my colleagues. Monday, January 7, 2013. Logrotate with date extensions.

I needed a quick way to get the statuses of my NetBackup runs on a daily basis. This works for me, but maybe because there aren't that many servers ( 30) that we are backing up.
