NAME
monthly - httpd log rotation for wwwstat
SYNOPSIS
monthly
DESCRIPTION
THIS PROGRAM MUST ONLY BE RUN ONCE PER MONTH! DURING THE FIRST WEEK It
assumes a lot, like that you use wwwstat and archive your logfiles once
per month. You will need to configure it for your server before it can
be used.
Reads the logfile (assumed to contain more than one month’s worth of
WWW common logfile entries) and moves the prior month’s entries into a
separate file. The new file is created on TMPDIR (to avoid filling up
the disk), compressed using gzip, and then moved to the archive
directory. The program also restarts the httpd server.
