RE: Built-in support for rotating logfiles?

Hi Joachim

I have a patch which limits the log file size, and upon reaching the
limit it will rename to messages~ and start a fresh.

The size is given in syslog.conf as eg /var/log/messages,10M

I'v had it on my todo list for long time to give the patch back to
comunity.
Unfortunately it is bundled with a patch to write ERROR,INFO etc to the
log file.

Subject: Built-in support for rotating logfiles?

Hi,

does anyone know of any patches floating around for built-in support for
rotating logfiles?

I've found sysklogd to be quite interesting for embedded systems.
Quite a bit more capable than the default BusyBox version. Only trouble
is that the BusyBox version has rotation built-in. (It has a few other
neat things as well, but those I hope I can live without...)

Unless you guys know of anything I'll go ahead and port the BusyBox log
rotate functionality.

Regards
