NAME
       qsrotate - Log rotation tool (similar to Apache's rotatelogs).

SYNOPSIS
       qsrotate -o <file> [-s <sec>] [-f] [-z] [-g <num>] [-u <name>] [-p]

DESCRIPTION
       qsrotate reads from stdin (piped log) and writes the data to the provided file rotating the file after the specified time.

OPTIONS
       -o <file>
	      Output log file to write the data to.

       -s <sec>
	      Rotation interval in seconds, default are 86400 seconds.

       -f     Forced log rotation even no data is written.

       -z     Compress (gzip) the rotated file.

       -g <num>
	      Generations (number of files to keep).

       -u <name>
	      Become another user, e.g. www-data.

       -p     Writes data also to stdout (for piped logging).

EXAMPLE
	 TransferLog "|qsrotate -f -z -g 3 -o /dest/file -s 86400"

       The name of the rotated file will be /dest/filee.YYYYmmddHHMMSS where YYYYmmddHHMMSS is the system time at which the data has been rotated.

NOTE
       Each qsrotate instance must use an individual file!
