Roll over audit/logs

These actions allow archiving of the WinGate records. If left to long, the log and audit files get very large and unmanageable. Having regular roll over events will make for a more organised system of record keeping. Service logs in particular get very large, and it is sensible to roll over at least every week on a busy system.

The action of rolling over the logs will:

Save new empty logs as <servicename>.<rolloverdate>.log in the same directory.

Append to any logs on the same name

The action of rolling over the audits will:

Save new empty audits as <username>.<rolloverdate>.log in the same directory.

Append to any logs on the same name

Example:

Before service files are rolled over

Name Size Date

www proxy.10Mar97.log 16852 10/3/97

pop3 proxy. 10Mar97.log 10266 10/3/97

After the roll over (on the 17th)

Name Size Date

www proxy.17Mar97.log 0 17/3/97

pop3 proxy.17Mar97.log 0 17/3/97

www proxy.10Mar97.log 16852 10/3/97
