--Dxnq1zWXvFF0Q93v Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hey all. Quick newsyslog.conf question: I am running Apache, which uses several system logs which I would like to rotate on a weekly basis. After reading newsyslog(8) I came up with the following group of newsyslog.conf entries: /var/log/ssl_engine_log 644 5 * $W6D0 Z /var/run/http.pid /var/log/ssl_request_log 644 5 * $W6D0 Z /var/run/http.pid /var/log/httpd-access.log 644 5 * $W6D0 Z /var/run/http.pid /var/log/httpd-error.log 644 5 * $W6D0 Z /var/run/http.pid Which would roll the logs every Saturday night at Midnight and SIGHUP Apache. My question is can I do a blanket roll and just HUP Apache once if I configure Apache to use logfiles that fit the pattern http*log and just roll them as follows: /var/log/http*log 644 5 * $W6D0 Z /var/run/http.pid I don't see any indication in the manpage that this will or will not work, so I thought I'd pop the question out here. I could just try this, but I don't want to hose the logging if I can help it.
