sc_trans logfile
 

I saw in the readme file that it suggested that I can use the HUP signal to close and reopen the log file to help with logfile rotation.
How would I do this?
Send the signal then rename the log file?

Is there a way to make to only keep the last 24 hours or last week. I want to avoid abrupt intturptions in the log file.

open the log file every week, delete what u dont want, then save

then the sc_trans_linux script will carry on logging as normal

why do u want to cut it down anyway, log files remain small with thousands of lines

I plan to write a front end that will need to read the log file. I figure a smaller file will cut down on the time it takes for the script to run.
Also, one time I accidentally deleted a mp3 that was about to play and sc_trans got stuck and the log file ballooned up to 200mb.

57MB logfile takes approx 1.5 secs to process on my server

just have the front end u make fix up the logfile

ouch thats not good!
