If you log to one file then you can write shell scripts or other programs to point to the "current" file when you are looking at the most recent logging information. If you add the YYY-MM-DD you add more complexity to this then needed. Since the step is already there I would keep it. Perhaps if one wanted to run a automated process that checks the default log for any errors on the latest software release and then send out a email to the admin/programmer if anything goes wrong. I usually see the active log and static logs as different entities as well, and having "file.log" and "file.log.YYY-MM-DD" exerts this distinction. And under the assumption that the logs get saved daily, it is implicit that file.log is to be today's date. Not sure, am I missing something here? -Ben Ceki Gülcü wrote: > Kevin, > > Eeuuh - I'd go with a bad choice.
