I am trying to write a script that can be called by other scripts to print output to a log. I also want to be able to rotate the log file for this script with a max of 5 logs files. This is what I have so far:
Are you logging just a small block now and then, or streaming to the log on a pipe? For the first, just put the date or time in the file name, and it grows a new file every hour, shift, day, week, month. For the latter, some side process needs to interrupt it using kill, to send it to trap, to start a new log with an entry pointing to the old log, if that works then close off writing the old log with an entry tying it to the new log and finally, delete any excess logs, without closing the input pipe. When writing blocks, if there are many logging processes, be sure to log whole blocks in one write so lines are not split or intermingled. Pile the message elements up in vm:
or an env var:
and then echo it out.
When unlocking a Linux server's console there's no event indicating successful logging
Is there a way I can fix this ?
