Archiving log files

[sawyl]

My latest glorious technical triumph? A clever little program to automatically archive log files to Unitree. It was actually surprisingly easy — all I had to do was set up an ftp client using Net::FTP to talk to the modified Unitree server, write a couple of routines to set up the directories and to make sure that stuff wasn't archived twice, and my work was complete. The best thing about it? Because it uses FTP to do the archiving, the script is eminently suitable for use on any of the machines in our cluster.

And to think, I wouldn't have been able to do any of it if I'd had to waste an hour in the division briefing yesterday...
