rotatelogs(8)

NAME
rotatelogs - rotate Apache logs without having to kill the server

SYNOPSIS
rotatelogs logfile rotationtime

DESCRIPTION
rotatelogs is a simple program for use in conjunction with Apache's piped logfile feature which can be used like this:
   TransferLog "|rotatelogs /path/to/logs/access_log 86400" This creates the files /path/to/logs/access_log.nnnn where nnnn is the system time at which the log nominally starts (this time will always be a multiple of the rotation time, so you can synchronize cron scripts with it). At the end of each rotation time (here after 24 hours) a new log is started.

OPTIONS

logfile
    The path plus basename of the logfile. The suffix .nnnn is automatically added.

rotationtime
    The rotation time in seconds.
