NAME

       flog - dump STDIN to file and reopen on SIGHUP

       flog  (file  logger)  reads  input  from STDIN and writes to a file. When a SIGHUP is received, the file will be reopened, allowing for log
       rotation.

       -T format
	      prepend each line with specified strftime(3) format

PENLOGD(1)						      General Commands Manual							PENLOGD(1)

NAME

       penlogd - consolidate web server logs

SYNOPSIS

       penlogd [-fd] [-j dir] [-l logfile] [-n N] [-p pidfile] [-u user] port

EXAMPLE

       penlogd -l /var/log/access_log -p /var/run/penlogd.pid 10000

DESCRIPTION

       Penlogd	receives  log  entries from Pen and from each of the web servers. It consolidates the entries by replacing the source addresses in
       each entry with the "real" client address and writes the result to stdout or to the file  given	on  the  command  line.   This	completely
       removes the need for postprocessing with mergelogs, since the logs are already merged.

       Pen must be instructed to send its log to penlogd. See HOWTO and pen man page for details.

       Sending penlogd a HUP signal will make it close and reopen the logfile, unless it is logging to stdout. Rotate the log like this:

       mv access_log access_log.1 kill -HUP `cat <pidfile>`

       where <pidfile> is the file containing pen's process id.

       Sending penlogd a TERM signal will make it close the log file and exit cleanly.

OPTIONS

       -d     Turn  on	debugging.  The  output goes to stderr if we are running in the foreground (see -f) and to syslog (facility user, priority
	      debug) otherwise.

       -f     Stay in foreground.

       -j dir Run in a chroot environment.

       -l logfile
	      Write output into logfile.

       -n N   Number of pen log entries to cache (default 1000).

       -p pidfile
	      Write process id into pidfile.

       -u user
	      Run as a different user.

       port   The UDP port where penlogd receives log entries.
