D'oh! I guess that just proves that you should always read the _full_ document, not just half way through I actually did check the tricks section out earlier on, but missed that line. Oh well, thanks for the help

OOPS, I didn't real you post right, or a skipped back, too far when referancing part of it.

Anyhow, from the good old eggdrop included doc, TRICKS

- If you don't want your logfiles to be deleted after two days and
don't want the bot to create a new logfile each new day, then set
'keep-all-logs' to 0 and 'switch-logfiles-at' to 2500 in your bot
config file to make it keeping one logfile all the time. However,
this is not recommended on high traffic channels.

Aditionaly, set teh max log file size to 1024, to limit to 1 MB

If I do that how can I get rid of the date that is added to the logfile's name? At least setting logfile-suffix "" does not help.

You need to set keep-all-logs to 1

At the moment I have the following options:

set max-logsize 1000
logfile jpk #uusiaika "logs/uusiaika.log"
set keep-all-logs 0
# set switch-logfiles-at 300

Even though I have disabled swith-logfiles-at, the bot still makes a new logfile at 3.00 AM and names the old log uusiaika.log.yesterday.

Is there some way to make Eggdrop log channel activity to just one file that would have a maximum size of, say, 1 meg? How is this done?

Thanks for any help

It will do this every 5 mins if I remember rightly.

If you have several logs, it can be resource hungry to do it every min. Being only 4 mins behind, is nothing, and is probably worth the effort.

However, again see the config file, for the setting that will change it to 1 min (there is either 1 or 5 mins. It is a non user-definable value).

Which of the three log file method paths are you trying to take?

1 logfile per day?
1 logfile only?
todays and yesterdays only?

logfile per day:

now i test this:

set keep-all-logs 1
set logfile-suffix ".%d%b%Y"

logfile msbxco * "logs/amalith.log"
logfile jpk #milosch "/home/masterjm/egg1/logs/milosch/milosch.log"

seems to work (the files have the name milosch.log.day_month_year
but we will see in 1-2 days

and how many times do the egg save the chan?
can i force to do it every minute?

thx ppslim

PLease read the documentation.

i have read it:

# If you want to keep your logfiles forever, turn this setting on. All
# logfiles will get suffix ".[day, 2 digits][month, 3 letters][year, 4 digits]".
# Note that your quota/hard-disk might be filled by this, so check your logfiles
# often and download them.
set keep-all-logs 0

this is from the docu, but it dont work, so i dont know whats wrong.

There are 3 methods of logging

Logging using the default mode, which logs today, and yesterday only.

One continious log, where it never ends.

And appending the date to the file, and using 1 log per day.

These are all documented throughout various files included with eggdrop.

thx this way, but i have put in the conf:

set keep-all-logs 0
logfile msbxco * "logs/amalith.log"
logfile jpk #milosch "/home/masterjm/egg1/logs/milosch/milosch.log"

and the egg do .log.log.yesterday

is something wrong?
(i want day by day logging)

The meaning of "jpk" is also inside the config file. These are the types of messages to be logged in this file.

You can also type ".help console" for a list of the flags that can be used in log files.
