Logrotate for pwserver

[Romulan]

Someone could share his script for logrotate for pwserver logs? It would be very cool... Or if you have any idea how to clean my logs automaticaly every weeks.

logrotate

It isn't a script. it is the logrotated service. Webmin has a module for I if you are using that, but the CLI for it is easy to use and understand.

Edit: I mentioned something similar in the thread CULOBG mentioned.

a friend did that to our server, the basic functionality is: add world2.log and world2.trace to logrotate servive weekly, and restart logservice after that( or just recreate that files with cat /dev/null >world2.log).

I used to use Bz2 for my log files with bash script and cron, the compression was great, a bit hard on the cpu though.

oh yeah i forgot to add, i also did date +-%H:%M:%S--%h_%d_%Y so they didnt overwrite each other.

here is my script:

#!/bin/sh
pkill -9 logservice
sleep 5
t=`date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M"`
sleep 5
cd /home/logservice
mv logs $t
sleep 5
mkdir logs
sleep 5
cd /home/logservice; ./logservice logservice.conf >/home/logs/logservice.log &
sleep 5

place it in /home/logservice and set it on cron
it will not delete old logs

our logrotate config, exchange the startup and kill command for logservice to fit your needs. su is used to start it with the user "pw"

put it in a new file in /etfc/logrotate.d/

/home/pw/logservice/logs/world2.trace
/home/pw/logservice/logs/world2.log
{
	weekly
	missingok
	rotate 52
	compress
	delaycompress
	notifempty
	create 644 pw users
	sharedscripts
	postrotate
		pkill -9 logservice 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null && su -c "cd /home/pw/logservice && /usr/bin/screen -dmS logservice ./logservice logservice.conf 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null" - pw
	endscript
}

you don't need to kill logservice, use "killall -HUP logservice" instead, it will cause the process to reopen file descriptors.

I have a script that pretty much does the same as RolleR987 posted, and use crontab to run it every 4 hours. So I backup all logs, and then, have some PHP scripts to analize it and work in it.

The same for database backups. Thought that database backups couldnt be achieved with running processes, but it does work.

@Anubis, your logrotate script is very cool but Idk why my logservice doesn't restart correctly...
