qsrotate -o <file> [-s <sec> [-t <hours>]] [-f] [-z] [-g <num>] [-u <name>] [-p]

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

-o <file>

Output log file to write the data to (use an absolute path).

-s <sec>

-t <hours>

-b <bytes>

-f

Forced log rotation even no data is written.

-z

Compress (gzip) the rotated file.

-g <num>

Generations (number of files to keep).

-u <name>

-p

TransferLog "|qsrotate -f -z -g 3 -o /dest/file -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.

Each qsrotate instance must use an individual file.
