Rotate Iplanet Logs


Tags:

To force daily rotation of Iplanet (Sun One Web Server) logs, add the following line to magnus.conf:

Init fn=flex-rotate-init rotate-start=0000 rotate-interval=1440

where the rotate-interval is in minutes, 1440 being 24 hours.

Restart Iplanet. "access" and "errors" logs will be rotated every 24 hours and named as such:

-rw-r--r--   1 iplanet  iplanet      143 Apr 23 00:00 access
-rw-r--r--   1 iplanet  iplanet      143 Apr 21 21:35 access.200704220000
-rw-r--r--   1 iplanet  iplanet      143 Apr 22 00:00 access.200704230000
-rw-r--r--   1 iplanet  iplanet        0 Apr 23 00:00 errors
-rw-r--r--   1 iplanet  iplanet      637 Apr 21 21:37 errors.200704220000
-rw-r--r--   1 iplanet  iplanet        0 Apr 22 00:00 errors.200704230000
