nutch-daemon.sh should not overwrite old logs by default --------------------------------------------------------
Key: NUTCH-156 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-156 Project: Nutch Type: Bug Versions: 0.8-dev Environment: a;; Reporter: Paul Baclace nutch-daemon.sh creates a log file with the name pattern "$NUTCH_LOG_DIR/nutch-$NUTCH_IDENT_STRING-$command-`hostname`.log" every time it is run. This can overwrite a previous log without warning. As such, it is too easy to accidently lose a log that might contain unique failure information. Workaround: one must remember to put aside the old logs before restarting a daemon. Suggested fix: Change the log name pattern in nutch-daemon.sh to include an ISO date: "$NUTCH_LOG_DIR/nutch-$NUTCH_IDENT_STRING-$command-$(hostname)-$(date '+%Y%m%dT%H%M%S').log" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
