NAME

       qsrotate - a log rotation tool (similar to Apache's rotatelogs).

SYNOPSIS

       qsrotate  -o  <file> [-s <sec> [-t <hours>]] [-b <bytes>] [-f] [-z] [-g <num>] [-u <name>]
       [-m <mask>] [-p] [-d]

DESCRIPTION

       qsrotate reads from stdin (piped log) and writes the data to the  provided  file  rotating
       the file after the specified time.

OPTIONS

       -o <file>
              Output log file to write the data to (use an absolute path).

       -s <sec>
              Rotation interval in seconds, default are 86400 seconds.

       -t <hours>
              Offset to UTC (enables also DST support), default is 0.

       -b <bytes>
              File size limitation (default/max. are 2147352576 bytes, min. are 1048576 bytes).

       -f     Forced log rotation at the specified interval even no data is written.

       -z     Compress (gzip) the rotated file.

       -g <num>
              Generations (number of files to keep).

       -u <name>
              Become  another user, e.g. www-data. -m <mask> File permission which is either 600,
              640, 660 (default) or 664.

       -p     Writes data also to stdout  (for  piped  logging).  -d  Line-by-line  data  reading
              prefixing every line with a timestamp.

EXAMPLE

         TransferLog "|/usr/bin/qsrotate -f -z -g 3 -o /var/log/apache/access.log -s 86400"

       The  name  of  the rotated file will be /dest/filee.YYYYmmddHHMMSS where YYYYmmddHHMMSS is
       the system time at which the data has been rotated.

NOTE

        - Each qsrotate instance must use an individual file.
        - You may trigger a file rotation manually by sending the signal USR1 to the process.
