HTTPLOG(8) httplog HTTPLOG(8) HTTPLOG httplog - Apache webserver logfile rollover program SYNOPSIS httplog [-z] [-u USER] [-g GROUP] [-s SYMLINK] [-b BUFFER_SIZE] LOGFILE DESCRIPTION This program makes Apache act similar to Microsofts' IIS webserver in its logging style (as opposed to every logfile entry in one single huge log- file). This allows you to easily maintain your webserver logfiles for sta- tistics packages in an easily organizable manner without user intervention. USAGE It takes one argument at the command line, the path to a logfile as a tem- plate. The template pathname can use any valid special characters permit- ted in strftime(3). Other optional arguments can be appended to the com- mand line. Optional filename parsing flags that may be used alongside the strftime(3) flags are: %1 replaced with systems host name. %2 replaced with systems domain name. %3 replaced with systems fully qualified name. OPTIONS -h output short help message and exit. -z Compress logfiles with zlib once logfile rollover period hits and new logfile is generated. -u USER Run as specified user rather than current user (typically root). -g GROUP Run as specified group rather than current group (typically root). -s SYMLINK Create a symlink to the currently active logfile. This symlink does not have to be in the same directory as the currently active log- file, and % expandoes do not expand in the symlink filename. -b BUFFER_SIZE Use specified buffer size to buffer logfile data rather than default buffer size defined by your system at compile time by BUFSIZ. This option also changes buffer flush style from line buffer mode to full buffer mode. REQUIRES You must have Apache installed. This program has not been tested with any other webserver software. To be able to use the -z option, you must have zlib installed on your sys- tem before compiling httplog.
