[Orca-users] Re: Rotating web logs

[Blair Zajac]

Are you using Orcallator.se or some other recording tool?

You can use the find_times configuration file parameter to tell Orca
when it should look for new filenames:

>From Orca's manual:

=item B<find_times> I<hours:minutes> [I<hours:minutes> ...] 
 
The B<find_times> parameter is used to tell Orca when to go and find 
new files.  This particularly useful when new input data files are 
created at midnight.  In this case, something like this may work: 
 
  # Find files at the following times: 
  #    0:10 to pick up new orcallator files for the new day. 
  #    1:00 to pick up late comer orcallator files for the new day. 
  #    6:00 to pick up new files before the working day. 
  #   12:00 to pick up new files during the working day. 
  #   19:00 to pick up new files after the working day. 
  find_times 0:10 1:00 6:00 12:00 19:00 
 
If you add too many different times to find_times, then Orca may spend 
a large amount of time finding files, so it's best just to have it 
find files when you know that they will appear. 
 
By default, files are only searched for when Orca starts up.

Blair
