Script: Weekly Archiving of Call Recordings via Cron
Submitted by TheShniz on Tue, 05/01/2007 - 2:03pm.
Due to some kind of limitation in how the kernel was compiled (supposedly), we can only have 3,000 files in /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/ before things break down. The only solution I've found is to seperate them out in a directory structure.
eg.)
/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/
/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/2007/jan
/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/2007/feb
...
/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/2007/dec
I know I can schedule weekly cron jobs to move *.* out of the ./monitor/, but how would you tell it to move it to a different directory based on the current month? (Preferrably creating that directory at the same time)
I know there's only a handful of people that have mentioned this problem, but there must be many more that have not posted and worked around it.
Any ideas?

You will have to modify this a bunch, but it will give you the general idea.
#! /bin/bash
# This script creates a snapshot of the data once a month.
# This script selects the Month and rsyncs the active
# directory to the appropriate Month's directory on the Big Hard Drive.
# Author--John Mullinix, Cohutta.Com, Inc.
# Get the day of the week from the date command
dat=`date +%m`
# Convert the number to a verbose day of the week to select the correct
# directory.
