I believe that Apache has a script called rotatelogs that should work for what you are looking for. I wrote a simple script to handle my logs and put it in cron. It's below if you want to try it. #!/bin/sh DATE=`date +%m%d%Y` mv /var/log/web/httpd-access.log /var/log/web/archives/httpd-access.log.$DATE /usr/local/sbin/apachectl graceful gzip /var/log/web/archives/httpd-access.log.$DATE Of course, this allows me to archive the logs daily, but it seems to work well. --Damon On Thu, 29 Jun 2000, Drew Sanford wrote: > Is there a way to zero out a file, and still leave it open, say for an > apache access log?
