compress/tar archive mail dirs

[Jason Burzenski]

I use a script to grab all quarantine dirs older than 5 days, compress them
and then send them off to an ftp site.  Uses ncftpput for the transfer.
Could use some cleaning up....

#!/bin/bash
# /root/scripts/samsback.sh
# JVB - 09102003
# Quarantine Folder Backup Script
#
# configure vars and add to crontab

QDIR=/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine
OLDERTHAN=5 # days
SCRIPTDIR=/root/scripts
HOST=hostname (or $(hostname)
FTPHOST=ipofftpserver
FTPUSER=ftpuser
FTPPASS=ftppass
FTPRMTDIR=/ftp/remote/dir

#
#
#
#
#

if [ ! -z $1 ];then
        SRC=$(echo $1 |cut -d/ -f6)
        if (tar czf $QDIR/$HOST.$SRC.tar.gz $QDIR/$SRC); then
                rm -rf $QDIR/$SRC
                ncftpput -V -DD -u $FTPUSER -p $FTPPASS $FTPHOST $FTPRMTDIR
$QDIR/$HOST.$SRC.tar.gz
        else
                echo $QDIR/$SRC failed to compress...
        fi
else
        find $QDIR -mtime +$OLDERTHAN -maxdepth 1 -type d -exec
$SCRIPTDIR/samsback.sh {} \;
fi
