I am using the rotaelog funciton via Linux and it works
The issue is I need to force it at midnight
I can't shutdown the services.
I want to find out how to force a rotatelog at midnight if I can't get the
rotatelog function to do it.
Thanks,
Kathy

Have you tries using logrotated? It's included in most Linux distros, but
available for any UNIX. Don't know about Windows. You can easily set it up to
run out of cron and do a graceful apache HUP:
Here's a logrotate script I use - this is in /etc/logrotate.d, but you can run
logrotate directly from a cron script at midnight, too:
<path to ias_oracle_home>/Apache/Apache/logs/error_log <path to
ias_oracle_home>/Apache/Apache/logs/error_log_pls <path to
ias_oracle_home>/Apache/Jserv/logs/mod_jserv.log {
copytruncate
compress
size=1M
rotate 9
postrotate
su - applprod -c
"/opt/oracle/prodcomn/admin/scripts/prod_diana/adapcctl.sh status"
if [ $? -ne 1 ]; then # Status of 1 indicates apache is already down and
# there is no need to HUP the process
su - applprod -c "<path to common_top>/admin/scripts/<context_name>/adapcctl.sh
graceful"
fi
endscript
}
Mine is set up to rotate when the error_log, error_log_pls, and mod_jserv.log
reach 1mb in size. It will truncate copy the old log to <log>.n, truncate the
old log, then compress the copy. 9 copies will be kept.
You can, of course configure this however you like.
The key part is the graceful apache restart after the log rotation. Sometimes
rotating the logs can wedge the apache daemon, so a graceful restart is nice.
Hope that helps a bit - logrotate is a great tool. I use it for alert logs,
listener logs, apache logs, etc.

While this does rotate the logs every 24 hours with a datetime, I specifically
need to have it run at midnight.
Yes, I have an SR open and yet I posted to Apache forums.
There is a transferlog function but I haven't been able to get this to work
I thought if I could manually force a rotate, then I could just cron this to go
at midnight.
Happy Friday.
