|  | <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. |
