"cronolog" is a simple program that reads log messages from its input
|
|
and writes them to a set of output files, the names of which are
|
|
constructed using template and the current date and time. The
|
|
template uses the same format specifiers as the Unix date command
|
|
(which are the same as the standard C strftime library function).
|
|
|
|
"cronolog" is intended to be used in conjunction with a Web server, such
|
|
as Apache to split the access log into daily or monthly logs. For
|
|
example the Apache configuration directives:
|
|
|
|
TransferLog "|/www/sbin/cronolog /www/logs/%Y/%m/%d/access.log"
|
|
ErrorLog "|/www/sbin/cronolog /www/logs/%Y/%m/%d/errors.log"
|
|
|
|
would instruct Apache to pipe its access and error log messages into
|
|
separate copies of cronolog, which would create new log files each day
|
|
in a directory hierarchy structured by date, i.e. on 31 December 1996
|
|
messages would be written to
|
|
|
|
/www/logs/1996/12/31/access.log
|
|
/www/logs/1996/12/31/errors.log
|
|
|
|
after midnight the files
|
|
|
|
/www/logs/1997/01/01/access.log
|
|
/www/logs/1997/01/01/errors.log
|
|
|
|
would be used, with the directories 1997, 1997/01 and 1997/01/01 being
|
|
created if they did not already exist.
|
