Starting OpenSim with a little Pre-Processing

I created this Batch File to run a couple of things for me on startup and thought it would be good to share the base of it for others to be able to further better manage their systems. I like to review my OpenSim.Log when I do a Startup and as you know, that thing becomes a Monster very fast ! BTW: It's also not good to open the "Live Log" when the system is running because it can cause the console to lockup (hate file locking @ times).

• What this does is described in the batch file, in a nutshell:
  

Presets a TimeStamp for Date@HourMinute

• Copies \bin\opensim.log or \bin\opensim.32bitLaunch.log to the backup folder structure as defined.
• The DEFAULT is C:\OpenSim\InstanceA\BACKups\LOGS
• Next, it renames the copied opensim.log to OSLOG_(14052009@1100).log so now it is Date@HourMinute stamped in the filename.
• Next, it clears the \bin\opensim.log and inserts "LOG_CLEARED AT 14052009@1100" as the first line in the file.
• WHY? Easier to track startup issues / debugging and helps reduce size of live opensim.log
• Creates backup structure under the instance to store critical files for recovery & tracking
• Copies critical files into backup structure (*.db, *.ini, exports, regions files ini or xml)
• OPTIONALLY BACKS UP MYSQL DB
• Changes directory to the \BIN folder and starts OpenSim.exe

INSTALLATION:

• Startup with a shortcut as you would with standard opensim.exe, just start this batch file instead instead of opensim.exe
• !! Remember to set the 5 Important Variables for your paths at the top of the batch file as shown below:
• OPTIONALLY Now Also dumps MySql DataBase SEE Header in batchfile

SET OSbackup=C:\OpenSim\InstanceA\BACKups
SET OSbinSrc=C:\OpenSim\InstanceA\bin
set DBUSER=root
set DBPW=YOURPASSWORD
set DBNAME=opensim

That's it... Nice & Easy, always a clean log when you startup and a copy of the previous log stored for you to review

THE BATCHFILE Start_OS.BAT

@echo off
:: FILENAME: Start_OS.BAT
:: AUTHOR: WhiteStar Magic @ OSGrid
:: DATE: REVISED Nov-24.2010
::
:: DESCRIPTION: Starts OpenSim.exe with some preprocessing
:: - copies opensim.log from BIN\ folder to Log Backup & renames it to OSLOG_Date@time.log
:: - example of output OSlog_(24-11-2010@23-27).log OR OSlog32_(24-11-2010@23-27).log 
:: - then it CLEARS the log to EMPTY in the \BIN folder so you can see everything from startup
:: - WHY? Easier to track startup issues / debugging and helps reduce size of live opensim.log
:: - Creates backup structure under the instance to store critical files for recovery & tracking
:: - Copies critical files into backup structure 
:: - BACKS UP MYSQL DB 
::
:: INSTALLATION:
:: Startup with a shortcut as you would with standard opensim.exe, just start this batch file instead 
:: MODIFY the bottom lines to adjust for starting OpenSim.exe OR OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe
::
:: DEPENDENCIES: uses Robocopy.exe (Windows Application) free from Microsoft if not in your installation
:: SYSTEM IMPACT: None Known 
:: TESTED ON: Windows Vista, Windows-7RC, WINDOWS SERVER 2008-R1(64bit)
:: Other Windows Operating Systems should have no issue (untested) but they are consistent for this type of function
:: =================================================================================================================
:: CONFIGURING ENVIRONMENT PATHS AND SETUP TO SIMPLIFY CONFIG & ADMIN
:: Adjust the following to YOUR INSTALLED Folder Paths
::
:: OSbackup = Where you want your Backup File Structure to be and send files to
:: OSbinSrc = Where the OpenSim Software is installed and run from
::
SET OSbackup=C:\OPENSIM\instanceA\BACKups
SET OSbinSrc=C:\OPENSIM\instanceA\bin
::
:: MYSQL INFORMATION TO BE FILLED OUT. IF DBUSER = XXX MySql Dump will not occur
set DBUSER=root
set DBPW=PASSWORD
set DBNAME=opensim
::
:: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: DATE & TIME String Assembly
:: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: Date & Time Format on your system
:: Check your format in command.prompt with DATE/T
::
:: EU DATE FORMAT = 15-05-2006 DD-MM-YYYY
:: US DATE FORMAT = 05/17/2006 MM/DD/YYYY
:: TIME FORMAT 13:45:55 is truncated to 13-45 and colons are removed 
:: DATES are cleaned of / or - or : depending on your system install & config.
::
:: Parse Hour & Minutes Removing incorrect characters or leading spaces
:: i=HR, j=min, k=sec,l=msec
 for /F "usebackq tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=/-:. " %%i in ('%TIME%') do set Ttime=%%i-%%j
::
:: Parse the Date String removing unwated characters / or - or 'space' depends on system installation
 for /F "usebackq tokens=1,2,3,4 delims=/-: " %%i in ('%DATE%') do set Tdate=%%i-%%j-%%k
:: 
set TimeStamp=%Tdate%@%Ttime%
:: we now have a string which will appear as 24-11-2010@23-27
