Re: a question about log file rotation Thanks!

Hi,

just want to let you know that I found the log-rotation part in:

https://www.gnugk.org/gnugk-manual-4.html

4.9 Section [LogFile]

This section defines log file related parameters. Currently, it allows users to specify log file rotation options.

• Filename=/var/log/gk_trace.log
  Default: N/A
  

  Set the output filename for the log file (same as -o on the command line). On Windows, backslashes in the file name have to be escaped.

  This setting doesn't change when the config is reloaded!

• Rotate=Hourly | Daily | Weekly | Monthly
  Default: N/A
  

  If set, the log file will be rotated based on this setting. Hourly rotation enables rotation once per hour, daily - once per day, weekly - once per week and monthly - once per month. An exact rotation moment is determined by a combination ofRotateDay and RotateTime variables. During rotation, an existing file is renamed to CURRENT_FILENAME.YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS, where YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS is replaced with the current timestamp, and new lines are logged to an empty file. To disable rotation, do not configure the Rotate parameter or set it to 0.

  Example 1 - rotate every hour (00:45, 01:45, ..., 23:45):

  [LogFile]
Rotate=Hourly
RotateTime=45
Filename=/var/log/gk_trace.log
  

  Example 2 - rotate every day at 23:00 (11PM):

  [LogFile]
Rotate=Daily
RotateTime=23:00
Filename=C:\\Logs\\GnuGk.log
  

  Example 3 - rotate every Sunday at 00:59:

  [LogFile]
Rotate=Weekly
RotateDay=Sun
RotateTime=00:59
  

  Example 4 - rotate on the last day of each month:

  [LogFile]
Rotate=Monthly
RotateDay=31
RotateTime=23:00

Hi,

I am running GnuGK as the following:

gnugk -c  ./gatekeeper.ini -o  ./log/gnugk.log -ttt

can I control the log file size or do log rile rotation? for example, can I config the gatekeeper.ini so if the log file is bigger than 100MB then it will automatically log to a new one; or log file will do rotation automatically every day? Thanks!

Regards,

Bo Xu
