1: Rolling the server log
Posted by Robert Schlaff on 11/13/00 08:50 PM
Sorry to ask such a stupid question but...

My AOLserver log doesn't seem to roll (and it hasn't since the server
was installed). These what I think the relevant lines in my nsd.tcl
say:

ns_section "ns/parameters"
        ns_param  ServerLog    ${homedir}/log/server.log
        ns_param  LogRoll      on

ns_section "ns/server/${server}/module/nslog"
        ns_param  rolllog        true      ;# Should we roll log?
        ns_param  rollonsignal    true      ;# Roll log on SIGHUP
        ns_param  rollhour        0        ;# Time to roll log
        ns_param  maxbackup      5        ;# Max number to keep
around when rolling

Please supply you AOLserver version. Anyway mine works here is my nslog section of the .tcl file: 
ns_section "ns/server/deepsky/module/nslog"                                    
ns_param EnableHostnameLookup "Off"                                            
ns_param File         "/home/aol30/log/deepsky.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"   



My version has different parameters. I am not sure where I got it from at this point, but I use the same format for several servers.


PS. Please put
