What happens when you do mv $NGINX_ACCESS_LOG $ACCESS_LOG_DROPBOX/$LOG_FILENAME and then issue a http request of your nginx server, before the kill? Do you see the log line go into $NGINX_ACCESS_LOG; onto the end of $ACCESS_LOG_DROPBOX/$LOG_FILENAME; or disappear without being written anywhere? I'd expect the first option not to happen; the second option to happen if the "mv" is a "rename"; and the third option to happen if the "mv" is a "copy and delete". So make sure that your "mv" is a "rename", and you'll be fine. Actually, I'd expect the first option to happen if you are using variables in your log file name, according to its documentation. f -- Francis Daly fran...@daoine.org _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
