Hi there!

How can i make weekly logs? I know it's possible. I need to have a log file with one week log, then my eggdrop makes another week log file.. and so on..

Can someone help?

This sort of thing would have to be scripted.

First you would setup the bot, to continiously log to one file.

Then, using the EVNT bind, you can track when logs are rotated.

When the logs reach one week old, copy the contents to a seperate file, and clear the contents of the main log.

While this in theroy should work, I am unsure if the log rotation EVNT bind is called, when the logs are set to never rotate. If not, this in theory is a bug, as there should be some mechanism to rotate logs if wanted. If it does, ignore this part

Well, since i can't script that i think i can do what i want if i can log to one file continiously and then i delete the file weekly

Is this ok?

And, please, tell me what to do to log continiously and not daily (yes i'm n00b)

Thanks
