<strong>NAME</strong>
rotatelogs - rotate Apache logs without having to kill the
server
<strong>SYNOPSIS</strong>
- <strong>rotatelogs</strong> <em>logfile rotationtime</em>
+ <strong>rotatelogs </strong><em>logfile rotationtime </em>[<em>offset</em>]
<strong>DESCRIPTION</strong>
- <strong>rotatelogs</strong> is a simple program for use in conjunction with
- Apache's piped logfile feature which can be used like this:
+ <strong>rotatelogs </strong>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"
+ CustomLog "|bin/rotatelogs /path/to/logs/logfile 86400" combined
- 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.

<strong>OPTIONS</strong>
<em>logfile</em>
- The path plus basename of the logfile. The suffix .nnnn
- is automatically added.
+ The path plus basename of the logfile. If <strong>logfile</strong>
+ includes any Otherwise, the suffix .nnnnnnnnnn is
+ automatically added and is the time in seconds. Both
+ formats compute the start time from the beginning of
+ the current period.
<em>rotationtime</em>
The rotation time in seconds.
+ <em>offset</em>
+ The number of minutes offset from UTC. If omitted,
+ zero is assumed and UTC is used. For example, to use
+ local time in the zone UTC -5 hours, specify a value of
+ -<em>300 </em>for this argument.
+
+<strong>PORTABILITY</strong>
+ The following logfile format string substitutions should be
+ supported by all <em>strftime</em>(<em>3</em>) implementations, see the
+ <em>strftime</em>(<em>3</em>) man page for library-specific extensions.
+
+ %A full weekday name (localized)
+
+ %a 3-character weekday name (localized)
+
+ %B full month name (localized)
+
+ %b 3-character month name (localized)
+
+ %c date and time (localized)
+
+ %d 2-digit day of month
+
+ %H 2-digit hour (24 hour clock)
+
+ %I 2-digit hour (12 hour clock)
+
+ %j 3-digit day of year
+
+ %M 2-digit minute
+
+ %m 2-digit month
+
+ %p am/pm of 12 hour clock (localized)
+
+ %S 2-digit second
+
+ %U 2-digit week of year (Sunday first day of week)
+
+ %W 2-digit week of year (Monday first day of week)
+
+ %w 1-digit weekday (Sunday first day of week)
+
+ %X time (localized)
+
