rotatelogs (8)
rotate Apache logs without having to kill the server
SYNOPSIS
rotatelogs
logfile
rotationtime
DESCRIPTION
rotatelogs
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.
OPTIONS
The path plus basename of the logfile. The suffix .nnnn is automatically
added.
The rotation time in seconds.
