Dixit Wiktor Wodecki <wodecki@wapme-systems.de> (le Thu, 11 Jan 2001 14:41:18 +0100) : » I've got another question, I haven't really looked at the 1.5 tree yet, » but I think about making patch to syslog-ng which would include the » strftime functions. I want to be able to use things like $Y/$m/$d in the » destination file path, this would effectively eliminate logrotation » scripts. Is there such an effort already in work or is this feature » planned? Well. This is already coded if i'm not wrong. Use $YEAR, $MONTH, $DAY For example : destination all { file("/var/log/messages-$YEAR$MONTH$DAY" create_dirs(yes)); }; Nevertheless, I'm not sure that is really what you (and I) want. In my example, it creates files with the *dates of the syslog messages* what is different from the date of the day they are received. In my case, it seems I have syslog clients with unsynchronized clocks and I already have messages-20010704 for example (4th july 2001 !). Thierry
