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.
