Hi:
I've searched a few times in the past with but haven't found a good
guide to logging on OS X. The port I'm working on, MythTV, consists
of a number of programs that all produce logs. Some of the logs can
grow to be very large (10's of megs) so some mechanism of rotation
would be a good thing. The major options seem to be to log to a
folder or use Syslog.
I see there are man pages for 'syslog' and 'newsyslog' on OS X. Is
there a cookbook somewhere on using these things? Or is there a
better tool? Obviously, OS X rotates the logs in /Private/var/log on
a regular basis. How/where is this controlled and can I set up a new
directory under that path and rotate those logs?
Even better would be an example of a port that sets up/deals with
extensive logs!
Background on Myth's logging can be found at
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Logging.
Thanks,
Craig
