I am trying to write a log file and saw an eaxmple as below. The example forks and I don't need to do. I jsut want to open a log file and try to add into the log file and try with count parameter alone. Or do I have to use

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. Signal

for rotating. Please give me a small example. Thanks.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. use Logfile::Rotate;
2. $logfile = new Logfile::Rotate(
3.                 File   => "/var/adm/log/syslog",
4.                 Count  => 5,
5.  
6.                 Signal => 
7.                    sub {
8.                         open PID, "/etc/syslog.pid" or
9.                            die "Unable to open pid file:$!\n";
10.                         chomp($pid = <PID>);
11.                         close PID;
12.                         # should check validity first
13.                         kill 'HUP', $pid; 
14.                         }
15.             );

Could you please explain your requirement clearly? It is not very clear from your statements and provided code. If you can write in steps like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

1. Have a program doing something
2. Want to print all activity of that program in a Log file
3. Any specific operation I want to do
4. Close the log file

etc...
