How to make the log file printed by access_log split

[Richard Kearsley]

Hi
There's no size limit, it will keep getting bigger until your disk is full
Here's a script I use to rotate the log, run it from cron every hour
hope it helps

#!/bin/sh
PID=`cat /usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid`
LOG="/usr/local/nginx/logs/access.log"
NOW=$(date +"%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M")
NEWLOG="${LOG}.${NOW}
mv ${LOG} ${NEWLOG}
kill -USR1 ${PID}
gzip ${NEWLOG}
