man cherokee_logrotate (Commandes) - Cherokee on-the-fly log rotation tool

NAME

cherokee_logrotate - Cherokee on-the-fly log rotation tool

SYNOPSIS

cherokee_logrotate

DESCRIPTION

cherokee_logrotate is a log rotation tool. It sets the logging subsystem on "back up mode" through the administration interface, then it moves the log file renaming it to the next available filaname (it concatenates a dot and a number), and finally it restores the server state to the original one. It allows to rotate the server logs in a safe way, at the same time the server keeps working. All the connection log entries during the back up mode is actived will be hold on memory, and when it restores the default state all of them will be written on the new file.

EXAMPLE

cherokee_logrotate https://root:password@localhost/admin/ /var/log/cherokee.access
