hello all,
I would be gratefull for some help in how do I manage the log out put
of a demon that I am running. The demon in question is Bttrack T-0.3.13
(BitTornado), running on a sarge install at home on a adsl line. The out put
logs are directed to /var/log/bttrack.log What I want to do with this log
file is to have 7 days worth of out put that rotates from bttrack.log.0 to
bttrack.log.6 and for the logs from bttrack.log.1 tbttrack.log.6 to be
compressed to .gz format. and the bttrack.log.0 to be uncompressed.
I been trying to get syslog or logrotate to do the job but no luck yet. In
the dir /etc/logrotate.d I added the file bttrack and in that file I placed
the lines :
/var/log/bttrack.log {
rotate 7
daily
monthly
compress
missingok
}
With the idea that this would do the job, but no luck again. I had
similar
attempts with configuring /etc/syslog.conf to manage the log out put of
bttrack but again no joy there as well. I have been reading up on what I
should be doing but I still can not see what the method is yet.
So any positave adive well be more than well and any pointers to some
howto
links.
Regards
peter colton
