For package foo, look into $PREFIX/etc/rc.d/rc.foo file. You find some foo_log_* variables defined in the %config section and later on they are passed verbatim into "shtool rotate" in the %daily section. Have a look at "openpkg man shtool-rotate"
Never modify the rc.foo file, it is not flagged config and will be overwritten on next update. Override the default by placing an identically named variable into $PREFIX/etc/rc.conf. > I wasn't able to find documentation on that subject on > http://www.openpkg.org/documentation/, in fact I couldn't find any decent > information on the whole openpkg rc system. > Have a look at "openpkg man rc" > The faq mentions a handbook under "OpenPKG breaks with a few things from the > good old Unix days.

However, the article [1] originally posted in Sysadmin Magazine some years ago received a major overhaul only one month ago and is very up to date now. Btw, Ralf refreshed the text after an inquiry by your collegue Bernhard R. ;-) > I did find some variables in etc/rc.d/rc.fsl which look promising, but I'm > unsure if fiddling with this file is TRTTD.

Everything you asked for in the first paragraph can be done with rc.conf. However, if you want to log to something else but files, do filtering or trickery like resuming logging after (re)moving the logfile without restarting the affected daemon etc., fsl is the place to go. Have a look at "openpkg man fsl". Another useful command regarding the rc topic is "openpkg rc --config" [1] http://www.openpkg.org/documentation/article/ -- Thomas ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List openpkg-users@openpkg.org
