Bill.
We have a logcycling script (logZip.sh) that searches for and ‘time stamps’ ‘.old’ files before cycling the log process. We execute this from cron every fours hours
Our ‘stopSite.sh’ script loops over the processes within a site, stops them and calls the logzip script.
Our ‘startSite.sh’ script loops over the processes within a site, calls the ‘logzip’ script and then starts the process.
I hope this helps
