Logrotating with multilog

2001-08-14 Thread Martin Hasenbein 

Hi,

I'm using qmail with the daemontools and my logs are generated by
multilog. I'm running qmail for example like this:

#!/bin/sh

exec env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:$PATH \
qmail-start ./Maildir/ multilog t s100 n100 /usr/local/server/qmail/main

Is it possible to make multilog rotate logfiles, lets say every night at 0??

multilog rotates by size, not time.

To add something to Hennings answer: from daemontools 0.75 on multilog
does also switch the log when receiving a SIGALRM.

This one is actually for Apache's pipe log mechanism, but should work
for qmail also (never used it myself):

And to add to Frank's 8-): There's a patch for daemontools  0.75 in
that mailing list's archive http://marc.theaimgroup.com/?l=log.  It
rotates on a SIGHUP, but that's easily changed.  Search for multilog
rotate signal.
