Hi Karel
Thanks for your reply - The simpler the better...OK, I think I follow
your suggestion. Below I have listed my appended contents of
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate.conf.
Could I please ask you (or anyone) to knidly check if this is alright?
One thing in particular, the '/sbin/killall -HUP httpd' command is given
as an example in the man logrotate file. Is this required??
---APPENDED TO THE BOTTOM OF LOAGROTATE.CONF---
# system-specific logs may be configured here
# Added by BC 22/5/00
/home/httpd/company-domains.net/logs/combined_log {
create
rotate 7
daily
errors [EMAIL PROTECTED]
postrotate
/sbin/killall -HUP httpd
analog -G +g/home/httpd/cgi-bin/company-domains.cfg
endscript
delaycompress
}
-----------------------------------------------
All I then need to do is set company-domains.cfg:
LOGFILE /home/httpd/company-domains.net/logs/combined_log.1
i.e. pointing to the rotated log file (which souldn't be compressed until
the next rotation)? If this is right, it is a very neat solution.
TIA, Brian
