--=_071dd879ec8afae9d3c6daa30c9077e5 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hello all, Would anyone want to comment if it is possible to rotate logs with newsyslog based on size and time (using FBSD 7.0-Release)? Many thanks! ZS -------- Original Message -------- Subject: newsyslog.conf / rotating logs based on size AND time Date: Tue, 05 Aug 2008 10:17:07 +0200 From: Zbigniew Szalbot <z.szalbot@lcwords.com> To: User Questions <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Hi there, I have the following rule in /etc/newsyslog.conf var/log/*-access.log 644 12 24000 $W2D11 GZC /var/run/httpd.pid 30 I am trying to see if I can specify to rotate logs when they are larger then 24MB AND at the start of each month (for testing purposes I entered today at 11 o'clock - $W2D11). However, at 10 o'clock the log should have been rotated because of size: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 24801986 Aug 5 10:02 domain.tld-access.log but as you can see, it was not. My question is how can I make sure the logs are rotated when they grow too large AND they are also rotated at a specified point in time (start of a new month). I am reading man newsyslog.conf and it says: If the when field contains an asterisk (`*'), log rotation will solely depend on the contents of the size field. To me it seems to say that when it is not an asterisk (i.e. when I enter a date), the log rotation is not based solely on size factor, which in other words should mean it is also based on time? Any help would be very much appreciated!
