copied!<p>I had a doubt with my code which i think I can verify here . My requirement is to copy the apache log and error log from two different servers . Iv written down a python program, using a for loop. </p> <p>My code: </p> <pre class="lang-python prettyprint-override"><code>def copylogs(Appache,Errorlog, folder_prefix) : root_path = '/home/tza/Desktop/LOGS/' folders = ['Appache','Errorlog'] for folder in folders: folder_name = folder_prefix + "_" + folder + str(int(time.time())) mkdircmd = "mkdir -p " + root_path + "/" + folder_name os.system(mkdircmd) filePath = root_path + folder_name serverPath = "/var/log/apache/*" cmd = "scp " + "symentic@60.62.1.164:" + serverPath + " " + filePath cmd = cmd.replace("60.62.1.164" ,myip1) cmd = os.system(cmd) print "Logs are at:",root_path+folder_name time.sleep(10) filePath = root_path + folder serverPath = "/var/log/errorlog/*" cmd = "scp " + "symentic@10.95.21.129:" + serverPath + " " + filePath cmd = cmd.replace("10.95.21.129" ,myip2) cmd = os.system(cmd) print "Logs are at:",root_path+folder_name </code></pre> <p>now Im calling the function at the end of my program :</p> <pre><code>folder_prefix = "Fail Case-1" copylogs(Appache,Errorlog, folder_prefix) </code></pre> <p>I have an issue here . Programm executes successfully but the logs get overwritten .what i mean is first Appache folder gets created ,logs are copied and then once again it gets overwritten .</p> <p>What i require is : create a folder Appachelogs[with the timestamp as defined ] ,copy the logs from machine one , next copy error logs from machine2 , and continue the program </p> <p>How can this be achieved? </p>
