[lighttpd] split logs daily

[Slevin]

I have the mod_accesslog module in lighttpd enabled and setup fine, but now the file can get really big.

I am now looking for a way to split these logs on a daily basis.
I already managed to setup a crontab for it.. but my script doesn't seem to work as i want it to

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#
/share/Apps/AppInit/appinit.cgi stop "lighttpd";sleep 10
mv /share/Apps/lighttpd/log/lighttpd.log /share/Apps/lighttpd/log/lighttpd_`date +%y%m%d`.log
touch /share/Apps/lighttpd/log/lighttpd.log
chmod 777 /share/Apps/lighttpd/log/lighttpd.log
/share/Apps/AppInit/appinit.cgi start "lighttpd"

This is ran every night at midnight.

When i use ls- l to see the files it shows that a new file was created (with timestamp).
But in samba it shows strange filenames..

what upsets me most is that it looks like lighttpd doesn't write anything to the newly created blank lighttpd.log..

Is there something wrong with my code?


PS, the crontab line i added is:

Code:

0 0 * * * /share/Apps/lighttpd/logbackup.sh

Here is how I added the line to the crontab http://slevo.no-ip.org:8080/wiki/doku.php/nmt/crontab

I'd like to give this one a bump,

is it possible that the topic is in the wrong category too?
may be better if it is moved to "Network (NAS, Server, PC ...)" ?
