I don't want that Zope does it for me, and a cron job is fine, but I don't know how I could do it. If I rename the file, ZServer doesn't create a new one, but uses the renamed (Apache does the same). But restarting Zope is not a solution, too. Any ideas?

What needs to happen is that you have to get Zope to close it's log files and reopen them. It doesn't (as with all UNIX software) track based on name, but on inode/fd map information. If you send Apache a SIGHUP it'll close and reopen them. ZServer should do the same, but it doesn't. This is a good patch opportunity ;-)

Medusa (on which ZServer is based) also supports rotating logfiles by itself. If you change line 409 of z2.py to: lg = logger.rotating_file_logger(LOG_PATH, freq='daily') your log files will be rotated on a daily basis. You could also rotate 'weekly', and 'monthly', or you could specify maxsize=<num_of_bytes> instead of freq=xxx, where <num_of_bytes> is the size of logfile at which to rotate it. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
