To automate the monotonous task of monitoring the logs from a production/test server.
SSHing into the remote server eats up valuable time and resources
Basic commands such as df, top, etc can be easily appended to the script.
Filtering of logs using sed, awk and grep to only get the required information.
Force Redownloading the logs when necessary

$ ./prod-monitor.sh [-u user] [-p pwd] [-f force-refresh] [-l logs-per-day] [- m month] [-d date] [-y year]
   
# -u user: user having access to the prod system
# -p passwd: passwd of the user having access to the prod system
# -f force-refresh: specify if logs have to be pulled from scratch
# -l maxLogsPerDay: How many logs do you need per day
# -m month: Month for which logs need
# -d date: date for which logs need to be created in the given month
# -y year: Year for which logs need to be created
