RE: [cobalt-users] rotating logs (raq3)

["Matthews, Graham" <gmatthews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, I was the other person Dan mentioned who was having troubles.

Those site specific logrotate files all look good on my system
(I have 9 vsites btw.).

I'm pretty sure that the problem is not really with the logrotate,
but with split_logs, which dies after a couple of hundred lines
into my access log:
`/usr/local/sbin/split_logs web < /var/log/httpd/access`
is coming back with "Broken Pipe".

I've ruled out memory as being a problem, by running top while
doing split_logs, and there is always plenty of memory (and
inodes) available.

I'm running the latest patched split_logs (it was busted before
and after applying the patch).
