Hi David, My first thought was to use logrotate since it is there and does the job well. Problem is I don't know of a way to configure logrotate to automatically rotate *.log found under /var/vhosts/ in any number of sub-directories.
• I want Cake to react and start rotating custom logfiles like app/tmp/ logs/my_test.log if I choose to start logging to that file. • I want each vhost running a Cake app to rotate its logs without the manual overhead of going into logrotate's configuration. With these prerequisites I thought it simpler and more portable to do the rotation from Cake instead of having Cake manage its own logrotate configuration files and run logrotate using exec or something. I have a "v0.1" running of a LogrotationComponent. All I have missing still is a fallback default rotation of all files not specified with custom settings. I'll post it in the bakery or something when it feels a bit more complete if anyone else wants to have a look. I am trying to build it as Cake-friendly as I know how to make it possible to paste it into the CakeLog class, which would be the natural place for it. Logrotate would probably be a bit faster though. If the configuration could be managed "automatically" it would be a good alternative. /Martin On Jun 17, 12:52 pm, davidpersson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wouldn't it be possible to let logrotate manage the cake logs? > > http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_Logrotate > > This way you don't have to code that in php.
