rotatelogs utility to rotate your Virtual
Server web server log files. Basically, rotatelogs is a
wrapper that you include in the Log definitions in the
/www/conf/httpd.conf file on your Virtual Server:
TransferLog "| /usr/bin/rotatelogs /www/logs/access_log 86400"This creates the files
/www/logs/access_log.nnnn where nnnn is
the system time at which the log starts (system time is the number of seconds
that have elapsed since January 1, 1970).
At the end of each rotation time (here after 24 hours) a new log is
started.
In order to use the rotatelogs wrapper you must
copy the
rotatelogs executable into your local directory
structure. To do this, telnet
or ssh to your Virtual Server and execute the following command:
% cp /usr/local/bin/rotatelogs ~/usr/bin
You can rotate the other web server log files as well:
AgentLog "|rotatelogs /www/logs/agent_log 86400" RefererLog "|rotatelogs /www/logs/referer_log 86400" ErrorLog "|rotatelogs /www/logs/error_log 86400"
