25
<p><code>rotatelogs</code> is a simple program for use in
26
conjunction with Apache's piped logfile feature. For example:</p>
28
<div class="example"><p><code>
29
CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 86400" common
32
<p>This creates the files /var/logs/logfile.nnnn where nnnn is
33
the system time at which the log nominally starts (this time
34
will always be a multiple of the rotation time, so you can
35
synchronize cron scripts with it). At the end of each rotation
36
time (here after 24 hours) a new log is started.</p>
38
<div class="example"><p><code>
39
CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/logfile 5M" common
42
<p>This configuration will rotate the logfile whenever it reaches
43
a size of 5 megabytes.</p>
45
<div class="example"><p><code>
46
ErrorLog "|bin/rotatelogs /var/logs/errorlog.%Y-%m-%d-%H_%M_%S 5M"
48
<p>This configuration will rotate the error logfile whenever it
49
reaches a size of 5 megabytes, and the suffix to the logfile name
50
will be created of the form
51
<code>errorlog.YYYY-mm-dd-HH_MM_SS</code>.</p>

<dt><code>-l</code></dt>
74
<dd>Causes the use of local time rather than GMT as the base for the
75
interval. Note that using <code>-l</code> in an environment which changes the
76
GMT offset (such as for BST or DST) can lead to unpredictable results!</dd>
78
<dt><code><var>logfile</var></code></dt>
80
<dd>The path plus basename of the logfile. If <var>logfile</var>
81
includes any '%' characters, it is treated as a format string for
82
<code>strftime(3)</code>. Otherwise, the suffix
83
<var>.nnnnnnnnnn</var> is automatically added and is the time in
84
seconds. Both formats compute the start time from the beginning of
85
the current period.</dd>
87
<dt><code><var>rotationtime</var></code></dt>
89
<dd>The time between log file rotations in seconds.</dd>
91
<dt><code><var>offset</var></code></dt>
93
<dd>The number of minutes offset from UTC. If omitted, zero is
94
assumed and UTC is used. For example, to use local time in the zone
95
UTC -5 hours, specify a value of <code>-300</code> for this argument.</dd>
97
<dt><code><var>filesize</var>M</code></dt>
99
<dd>The maximum file size in megabytes followed by the letter
100
<code>M</code> to specify size rather than time. Use this parameter
101
in place of both rotationtime and offset.</dd>
