I needed to automate renaming log files because the size of the log file was slowing down the application. Here is the resulting batch file.
@echo off
set CURRDATE=%TEMP%\currdate.tmp
date /t > %CURRDATE%
set PARSEARG=”eol=; tokens=1,2,3,4* delims=/, ”
for /f %PARSEARG% %%i in (%CURRDATE%) do set YYYYMMDD=%%l%%k%%jren file.log file_%YYYYMMDD%.log
A few years ago I automated account creation for an organization. Here is one of the scripts I sill use today.
echo off

REM and saves them to adds.txt and dels.txt

REM Please verify the GnuWin32 bin dir including CoreUtils,
REM DiffUtils, and Grep is in your path before executing script.
REM These tools are available at
REM gnuwin32.sourceforge.net
REM ——————————————————-REM if %2 is NULL then display usage
if exist %2 goto else

echo usage: %0 [file1 old] [file2 new]

echo This script will save the output files
echo in your WORKING directory so change your directory
echo to your target directory.

I always forget the exact code to make one url frame another.

I was wiping a drive today and didn’t much care for the way dd doesn’t show anything until it’s complete.
I found this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda & watch -n5 -- pkill -USR1 ^dd$
–edit–
A reader posted this, but I accedentally marked him as spam.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda & pid=$! && while kill -USR1 $pid; do sleep 15; done
