RE: CRONOLOG: half the logs work the other half doesn't

["Richard Kline" <richard.kline@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

The assces_log and the error_log on all 4 webservers behave as they're
supposed to, with one exception. The web servers access and error logs
don't actually rotate until accessed. 

For example, my webserver 4 (ws04) on the 29th Oct the last access to it
was;

207.250.187.161 - - [29/Oct/2003:20:11:31 +0000] "CONNECT 1.3.3.7:1337
HTTP/1.0" 302 278 "-" "-"

But ws04 on the 30th Oct the first access to it was;

10.0.100.106 - - [30/Oct/2003:08:55:40 +0000] "GET
/irace/iHome/mainMenu_10.jsp
HTTP/1.0" 200 11004 "-" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT
5.0)"
And the log was created at that time.

So no is the answer to your question. My ssl and mod_jk.log logs has
been left at their default apache setup, as I can not get cronolog to
work with them. In fact, even if I use the --symlink option, cronolog
won't create the files and/or rotate the default ones. I have checked
the obvious dir permissions ect...

Thanks again
