| Summary | 0003706: Create example cron scripts for log management | ||||
| Description | Summary pretty much says it all. A feature to rename logs at the end of each day/week/whatever has been requested by many people, which can be done with cron or batch (win32) jobs to keep the bloat out of Unreal. We should create the following examples and documentation: * cron script for *nix, and install documentation * .BAT file for Windows and documentation on using 'scheduled tasks' * Perhaps maybe an OS-independent perl script too/instead of? | ||||

I think we can leave this over to 'logrotate' like all other daemons on *NIX. For systems without it (eg: Windows), or users who don't need that much functionality, simply use log::maxsize to set a size limit: * Then, once the log becomes full, ircd.log is renamed to ircd.log.old * X days later, when the log is full again, the same thing happens (eg: after XX mb) the ircd.log.old is overwritten [*] This basic and simple functionality was not available at the time when this bug was submitted. It was added in August 2015 by commit 3d60e89e546609706d039fa18f9f62bbd3941a40. |
