Questions[exclude](server)

I have a file under logrotate.d that I would like not to run when the main logrotate is running. I have created a separate job for this in /etc/crontab

45 23   * * *   root    mv /var/log/RemoteSystems/*/*.log /var/log/Archiv/ && logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/test  

The job will move the files from a directory to another and then will apply logrotate. I would like that this job to run separately from main logrotate job in /etc/crontab. The problem is that because "test" is under /etc/logrotate.d/, it will run once again with the main logrotate. Is there any command that I can insert in logrotate.conf that can exclude "test" to run? I know that if I am having "test" file out of /etc/logrotate.d, this will not happen, but I would like to keep "test" at the same path.

I want to monitor special path to any event of create or modified files recursively in it via inotifywait but I don't know what's my problem is.

I have some folders that I want to exclude.

watchpath
    ->  folder1
        -> file1
        -> ingnorefile1 [IGNORE]
    ->  ignorefolder1 [IGNORE]

How do I correctly exclude them using a regular expression?

inotifywait -mr --exclude '(ignorefolder1|folder1\/ingnorefile1)' -e modify -e create -e delete . | while read date time dir file; do

What is correct regular expression to use to accomplish my goal?

I'd like to download a directory from a FTP, which contains some source codes. Initially, I did this:

wget -r ftp://path/to/src

Unfortunately, the directory itself is a result of a SVN checkout, so there are lots of .svn directories, and crawling over them would take longer time. Is it possible to exclude those .svn directories?

I'm not a server guru (unfortunately) but have a decent knowledge of linux & bsd. I'm trying to symlink multiple instances of HLDS (game server) but need to exclude certain folders & config files to achieve this properly. I need to do it this way as HLDS loads many mods automatically, and putting an exception to disable the mods doesnt work for all of them.

so basically i want:

/home/user/hlds-install (the base install)
/home/user/server1
/home/user/server2
etc...

and then be able to manually put any configs/mods ive excluded into the server dir's so that each server can be configured individually.

Can anyone tell me how to do this, perhaps some sort of bash script so that I can just change the targets to run it each time i want to create a new one. I have quite a number to make so doing the whole thing manually for each one definately isn't an option and im all for working smarter, not harder!

Thanks :)

I have a VirtualHost set to proxy all requests to another server running on port 9000.

What I have :

ProxyPass / http://localhost:9000/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:9000/

What I've tried :

! ProxyPass /test.html http://localhost:9000/
ProxyPass /test.html ! http://localhost:9000/
ProxyPassMatch !^/(.*\.html)$ http://localhost:9000/$1 

None of which worked...

I'd like to exclude a file or a set of files from being proxied, the documentation says something about "The ! directive is useful in situations where you don't want to reverse-proxy a subdirectory.", but there are no examples for that situation.
