Filter and move/list on content

I use apt-mirror, to mirror repository locally.
Unfortunately, the software is a little buggy, not properly maintained, lacks maintainer.

It is often the repo becomes inconsistent. For example, I often get html pages in response to communication problems.

In postmirror.sh I have added a row to list all html pages:
grep -irl -e "<! DOCTYPE html" /data/apt-mirror /mirror >> /data/apt-mirror/var/cron.log

Copies from the log and makes a cleanup script.
It takes a long time and requires manual work.

I wish a script based on "file" (or somethin alike), both moving html files to /data/apt-mirror/error and listing the moves in the log.

I've looked at alternatives to apt-mirror, for example aptly,but put it aside for now...

Re: Filter and move/list on content

So is this a help request for a script? If so, it needs to be in a different forum section:

Scripts, Tutorials & Tips
A place to share tips, guides, application configurations and scripts.

Yes.

If so, it needs to be in a different forum section:

I can't se how to move the post. Maybe a user can't but a moderator?
Els, you want me to delete text and post in "System Administration" or "Help & Support (Other)"?

Re: Filter and move/list on content

Well, this section is supposed to be for stuff that works, for people to browse through.

Requests for help with repo management should be in... "System Administration" maybe?

Unless you find someone who is using apt-mirror, you are going to have to explain both the problem and your attempts at solving it in more (technical) detail.

I've looked at alternatives to apt-mirror, for example aptly,but put it aside for now...

Why is it an alternative, and why did you dismiss it?
