Possibility to restart - possible, not certain yet. There are hundreds of scripts for log rotations. For example, search Google for "powershell log rotation". That one specifically handles old stale files that are no longer being written to, which is a fairly easy case.
I was looking for something to handle a single file. Searching that forum for "logrotate" has 0 results. Show 4 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. Improve this answer.

Sorry, gotta pull back my checkmark. I don't see logrotate in the catalog for the current Cygwin. Sounds good to me — mfinni. I confirm the ability to move the log file of Cygwin's stock syslog-ng.

Let's say the first time it's called somelog. The third time the new log is somelog.
I would be able to grant a maximum of eg 5. Is this done before sample script , any suggestions. I appreciate any advice. It basically checks your log file's size, and if it exceeds an arbitrary threshold, it copies the log file into a log directory.

Create a free Team What is Teams? If you installed FootPrints in a directory other than default, modify the batch file and the rest of this article as required. Lastly, you need well, I haven't tested this without doing this to set the Tomcat service to delayed startup, to give Windows the change to run the script:. Migration Robot I put together something quick here to get you started "playing" with the settings. Maybe the exact behavior you are looking for cannot ultimately be achieve but hopefully the configuration options in Log4J are flexible enough to get you close enough.
I hope this helps some. Here is the default configuration for the footprints. The number of rollover files can be changed by setting the MaxBackupIndex property to the desired value e. The DatePattern property determines not only the name of the rolled-over file but also the frequency. In the example above the file will be rolled every hour. Using the above configuration, restarting Tomcat will continue to append the log statements to the footprints.
This could be very useful, Nicolas! It so happens that there is a BAT file running a certain command line tool on a Windows server and redirects output to an ever-growing log that I want to rotate every time it outgrows certain size. So I am constrained to editing that BAT file. Then I did a negative test by increasing to and it did not echo OK. So far so good. I know how to work around that by keeping the environment variable assignment outside the if block:.
Posting this, so this question at least had a answer that others can quickly catch, as I did not see the actual answer in the comments. As ths pointed out in the question's comment, the script needs setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion at the beginning to correct the behavior.
