Another thought: Post-process just the .1 log after the rotation, so the system rotations doesn't upset your logs (you don't miss things). Use a script that writes your own logs to dated files, appending the data to the right date files (that takes care of some of yesterdays and some of todays messages in the processed log). Handled your own dated logs separately from the system, and let the system rotate and remove its own logs as it usually does. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.1-41.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.
