A simple example of log

lilly07

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

Signal

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

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 use Logfile::Rotate;

$logfile = new Logfile::Rotate(

                File   => "/var/adm/log/syslog",

                Count  => 5,
 
                Signal => 

                   sub {

                        open PID, "/etc/syslog.pid" or

                           die "Unable to open pid file:$!\n";

                        chomp($pid = <PID>);

                        close PID;

                        # should check validity first

                        kill 'HUP', $pid; 

                        }

            );

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

 Have a program doing something

Want to print all activity of that program in a Log file

Any specific operation I want to do

Close the log file

etc...
