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 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.
