NAME

       monthly ‐ httpd log rotation for wwwstat

SYNOPSIS

       monthly

DESCRIPTION

       THIS PROGRAM MUST ONLY BE RUN ONCE PER MONTH!  DURING THE FIRST WEEK It assumes a lot, like that you use
       wwwstat and archive your logfiles once per month.  You will need to configure it for your server before
       it can be used.

       Reads the logfile (assumed to contain more than one month's worth of WWW common logfile entries) and
       moves the prior month's entries into a separate file.  The new file is created on TMPDIR (to avoid
       filling up the disk), compressed using gzip, and then moved to the archive directory.  The program also
       restarts the httpd server.
