question about logging.

[THeAvatar|]

Hi, im running an eggy for the purpose of generating channel stats, and im wondering if it is at all possible to stop it from splitting the logs every day?

I thought that setting the time it does that to 0 would stop it, but it changed the time it does it to midnight.

below is the log settings from my conf file.

---------------------------------
# This is the maximum number of logfiles allowed. This setting can be
# increased; however, don't decrease it.
set max-logs 5

# This is the maximum size of your logfiles. Set it to 0 to disable.
# This value is in kilobytes, so '550' would mean cycle logs when it
# reaches the size of 550 kilobytes. Note that this only works if you
# have keep-all-logs 0 (OFF).
set max-logsize 0

# This could be good if you have had problem with the logfile filling
# your quota/hard disk or if you log +p and publish it to the web and
# need more up-to-date info. Note that this setting might increase the
# CPU usage of your bot (on the other hand it will decrease your mem usage).
set quick-logs 0

# This setting allows you the logging of raw incoming server traffic via
# console/log flag 'r', raw outgoing server traffic via console/log mode 'v',
# raw botnet traffic via console/log mode 't', and raw share traffic via
# console/log mode 'h'. These flags can create a large security hole,
# allowing people to see user passwords. This is now restricted to +n users
# only. Please choose your owners with care.
set raw-log 0

# This creates a logfile named eggdrop.log containing private msgs/ctcps,
# commands, errors, and misc. info from any channel.
logfile mco * "logs/eggdrop.log"

# This creates a logfile named lamest.log containing joins, parts,
# netsplits, kicks, bans, mode changes, and public chat on the
# channel #lamest.
logfile jpk #ld4all "logs/ld4all.log"

# Use this feature to timestamp entries in the log file.
set log-time 1

# 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

# If keep-all-logs is 1, this setting will define the suffix of the logfiles.
# The default will result in a suffix like "04May2000". "%Y%m%d" will produce
# the often used yyyymmdd format. Read the strftime manpages for more options.
# NOTE: On systems which don't support strftime, the default format will
# be used _always_.
set logfile-suffix ".%d%b%Y"

# You can specify when Eggdrop should switch logfiles and start fresh. You
# must use military time for this setting. 300 is the default, and describes
# 03:00 (AM).
set switch-logfiles-at 0

# "Writing user file..." and "Writing channel file..." messages won't be
# logged anymore if this option is enabled.
set quiet-save 0

will that still split the logs into seperate files?
i would like to keep it loging to just the one file.

quote from eggdrop/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.

hm... why are there people doing that work, if no one's gonna read it?

1. Lazy .. 2. lazy .. 3. Have I mentioned lazy?
