| <strong>NAME</strong> |
| rotatelogs - rotate Apache logs without having to kill the |
| server |
| |
| <strong>SYNOPSIS</strong> |
| <strong>rotatelogs </strong><em>logfile rotationtime </em>[<em>offset</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: |
| |
| CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 86400" common |
| |
| This creates the files /var/logs/logfile.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 rota- |
| tion time (here after 24 hours) a new log is started. |
| |
| <strong>OPTIONS</strong> |
| <em>logfile</em> |
| The path plus basename of the logfile. If <strong>logfile</strong> |
| includes any Otherwise, the suffix .nnnnnnnnnn is |
| automatically added and is the time in seconds. Both |
| formats compute the start time from the beginning of |
| the current period. |
| |
| <em>rotationtime</em> |
| The rotation time in seconds. |
| |
| <em>offset</em> |
| The number of minutes offset from UTC. If omitted, |
| zero is assumed and UTC is used. For example, to use |
| local time in the zone UTC -5 hours, specify a value of |
| -<em>300 </em>for this argument. |
| |
| <strong>PORTABILITY</strong> |
| The following logfile format string substitutions should be |
| supported by all <em>strftime</em>(<em>3</em>) implementations, see the |
| <em>strftime</em>(<em>3</em>) man page for library-specific extensions. |
| |
| %A full weekday name (localized) |
| |
| %a 3-character weekday name (localized) |
| |
| %B full month name (localized) |
