Package: wnpp Version: N/A; reported 2003-09-24 Severity: wishlist * Package name : rottlog Version : 0.51alpha Upstream Author : Stefano Falsetto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://www.nongnu.org/rottlog/ * License : GPL Description : a more powerful substitute for logrotate
rottlog is a shell script that can be used as a substitute for logrotate. It has a number of additions that look quite interesting. For example, you can specify Macros that are expanded to create the target file name, probably including date and time stamp. That way, it is possible to rotate logs in a way that a file rotated once is never touched again before its deletion, making log rotation much more compatible with host-based intrusion detection schemes like aide.
