Hi, I recently changed a bit in my rotate script in order to rotate it closer to midnight. I start the script at 23:59 to get the current date in some variables. As of the 17th I have added a "sleep 1m" to get the "rotation" for the logfile at midnight.
Somehow the sniffer log still covers the same timepriod, I think. Looking at the log for the 16th, it starts at 15-jan-2005, 23:00:09 and stops at 16-jan-2006, 22:58:18. The log for the 18th, it starts at 17-jan-2005, 23:01:56 and stops at 18-jan-2005, 22:57:37. Still an hour short for the day. I'm not running any persistent instances, we only process aboy 4K messages a day. Am I doing something wrong, I want my logfile for a certain day to contain the log for that day, from midnight till midnight. My log for the job, renaming the <id>.log file to snf<mmdd>.log occurs just before the ftp upload, which at night from the 17th to the 18th happens indeed one minute later.
