Sorry for answering in private, but I do not want to blur the zope list with Debian stuff. Feel free to quote me anywhere you want in public. On Fri, 25 Oct 2002, De ZORZI Frederic wrote:

If you use GNU/Linux Debian, simply put that (executable) script in /etc/cron.monhtly :

echo "Rotating zope server logfile" cd /var/lib/zope/var/ By the way, this is a long standing bug in the Zope package: See bugs #57799, #60533, #71923 and #100158.

savelog -g root -m 640 -u root -c 7 /var/lib/zope/var/Z2.log > /dev/null This file is empty since one month for me which is really strange. Any hint whether this might be caused because of my log rotation procedure:

savelog -g root -m 640 -u root -c 7 /var/lib/zope/var/application.log > Hmmm, I do not have such a file on my installation? What is logged here?

/dev/null /etc/init.d/zope restart Is it really necessary to restart Zope? This seems really strange to me and I would think this is a real bug in Zope.

The 'savelog' script is in debianutils package (a little bash script)

If not, why don't you use debian ? :) Is there any other option to run a rock solid Linux??

Kind regards Andreas.

Hello,

How do you handle da Log Rotation like Apache & logrotate ?? I use to make a monthly rotation & compression.

Thanks for tips & comment

hi,

maybe you should have a look at Zope2.6. You can "reopen" your log-files with a

kill -SIGUSR2 `cat /path/to/var/Z2.pid`

Thanx a lot, it's what I'm looking for. I know logrotate, but I don't know well Zope. And I didn't want to kill Zope for a log rotation. Cyrille

after a log-rotation.

cheers, maik
