Not really. The same effect cannot be achieved with logrotated, only an approximation based on a sudden rush to rename several log files all at midnight. The logs could go into per-day files and merged into a monthly file daily, but that makes the current file more difficult to tail -f. > With strftime I was looking for a way to make this as useful as possible to > everyone.

It could be quite complex to add strftime without making it less efficient; the whole format string can't be passed to strftime because it will have a %s in it. tod_stamp() would need to gain a format string parameter which is then only used by some callers, or all callers would have to pass a format string and use strftime() instead of sprintf(). > In this case the backwards compatibility is an issue so this may be the best > answer if it is to be included. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.exim.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-dev Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ##
