| <strong>NAME</strong> |
| rotatelogs - rotate Apache logs without having to kill the |
| server |
| |
| <strong>SYNOPSIS</strong> |
| <strong>rotatelogs </strong><em>logfile rotationtime</em> |
| |
| <strong>DESCRIPTION</strong> |
| <strong>rotatelogs </strong>is a simple program for use in conjunction with |
| Apache's piped logfile feature which can be used like this: |
| |
| TransferLog "|rotatelogs /path/to/logs/access_log 86400" |
| |
| This creates the files /path/to/logs/access_log.nnnn where |
| nnnn is the system time at which the log nominally starts |
| (this time will always be a multiple of the rotation time, |
| so you can synchronize cron scripts with it). At the end of |
| each rotation time (here after 24 hours) a new log is |
| started. |
| |
| <strong>OPTIONS</strong> |
| <em>logfile</em> |
| The path plus basename of the logfile. The suffix .nnnn |
| is automatically added. |
| |
| <em>rotationtime</em> |
| The rotation time in seconds. |
