Package: debianutils Version: 2.27.1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/savelog Tags: patch
Attached patch adds -x to savelog and allows a shell script segment
to be called on the rotated file (foo.0). I would appreciate if it
found its way into the package. I want to use it to mail the files after
rotation.
Example:
piper:~> /tmp/savelog -x 'foo() { echo "New file: $1"; }; foo $FILE' -p bla
New file: .//bla.0
Rotated `bla' at Wed Nov 21 13:43:35 CET 2007.
