I recently realised that the syslogd in busybox takes a path/filename and a file length and a number-of-files. Lovely
I am running an embedded system, and it does things at start-up like datalogging.sh & modemcommunications.sh & which dumps any/all debug information that the s/w MIGHT be able to give me into a black hole. Or if I run it from the console, it interleaves it so I can't see what's what!!! what I'd like to do is something like datalogging.sh & > /var/log/datalogging/log 200 3 modemcommunications.sh & > /var/log/modemcommunications/log 200 3 and log the output of each process into the RAMdisk in it's own limited-size log file(s). I hear there's something called logrotate I can compile and install, but it is frustrating that all the code to do this seems to be in busybox for syslogd - can it be bent to my purpose in any way?
