(Bash) Log4r: how to use RollingFileOutputter: automatically cycle stale logfiles

Sun, 24 Jan 2010 15:18:50 GMT

(Log4r::RollingFileOutputter)(http://log4r.sourceforge.net/rdoc/files/log4r/formatter/formatter_rb.html) automatically renames/archives log files once they get too big or too old. This is not my code, I found it [in Google's cache](http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache:NH-CfIj0MhQJ:omf.mytestbed.net/repositories/entry/omf/branches/reorg/log4r-1.0.5/examples/fileroll.rb%3Fformat%3Draw%26rev%3D89+log4r+rollingfileoutputter) and I found it useful, so I figured I should preserve it. If you're the author, get in touch and I'll credit/link you (and thanks!)
