Re: [AOLSERVER] Has server.log rolling ever worked?

Thanks for the tip, I will try it on my NetBSD installation.  The one I have the big 
log on is Win32 thought.  However, that problem is scheduled to be overcome by other 
events.

I recommend running aolserver under daemontools (instead of inittab),
using the -f flag (foreground mode, with the server log going to
stderr), and using multilog (from the daemontools package) to write the
server log to disk.  With multilog, you say how many files of server log
to keep, and how to big let each file get.  It rolls the logs based on
size instead of time.  Thus you never have to worry about your server
log growing to 250 MB unless you meant to let it get that big.

Umm, I guess I should know the answer to this, but I don't:

Has anyone gotten their server.log to roll automatically?

nslog is working for me with the following config:

ns_section ns/server/${service_short_name}/module/nslog
ns_param EnableHostnameLookup Off
ns_param File ${AOL_HOME}/log/${service_short_name}.log
ns_param LogCombined On
ns_param LogRefer Off
ns_param LogUserAgent Off
ns_param MaxBackup 5
ns_param RollDay *
ns_param RollFmt %Y-%m-%d-%H:%M
ns_param RollHour 0
ns_param RollOnSignal On
ns_param RollLog On

I use the following:

ns_section "ns/parameters"
ns_param serverlog "smc.log"
ns_param logroll   true
ns_param maxbackup 14

...but it doesn't work.  :-(  The name is used, but there's no rolling.

As far as I know, it does, unless someone else is doing it for me.

You mean aside from kill -HUP `cat ns.pid`?

That's what we do.

Note that you have to turn off the HUP log rolling of the access log, else
you may delete your access logs if you time it right.
