In /etc/newsyslog.conf add the following lines (I assume you are running Apache): /var/log/httpd-access.log 644 5 100 * Z /var/run/httpd.pid /var/log/httpd-error.log 644 5 100 * Z /var/run/httpd.pid This will give you 5 generations of the previous log files in addition to the current ones. Each rotation will be performed on the hour by newsyslog (engaged by cron) when the current log file exceeds 100 kB. Apache will also be notified with a SIGHUP and the PID is obtained from /var/run/httpd.pid. Take a look at the manpage for newsyslog(8) and look in /etc/newsyslog.conf for more details. You may need to adjust the lines for /etc/newsyslog.conf if you run a different web server. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Trond Endrestøl | trond@gtf.ol.no Merkantilvegen 59HB7, | trond@ramstind.gtf.ol.no N-2815 GJØVIK, NORWAY |+47 61139424 || +47 63874242 Patron of The Art of Computer Programming| FreeBSD 3.3 & Pine 4.10 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
