Redirecting stdout from multiple processes to python Logging module?

Not a pythonic solution; but on linux systems I prefer using logrotate to automatically rotate my logs. Check to see if its installed on your system (On ubuntu say there is a directory called /etc/logrotate. D/ with files automatically run via cron).

This may or may not be preferred to having log rotation run from within the application.

This may or may not be preferred to having log rotation run from within the application. It's very configurable, e.g. , allows compression of older files keeps N files via rotate N command, rotates when the cron over "size 100k", and looking at man logrotate, its very straightforward to setup. From the man page here's a sample file # sample logrotate configuration file compress /var/log/messages { rotate 5 weekly postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd endscript } "/var/log/httpd/access.

Log" /var/log/httpd/error. Log { rotate 5 mail [email protected] size 100k sharedscripts postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd endscript }.

Thanks, however ther may be upto 100 processes launched from the python script. Would I need an entry for each process and logfile? – mikip Nov 30 '10 at 16:53 You do not need entries for every process/logfile -- it supports wildcards.E.g.

, if all your logs are stored in a directory /var/log/some_app/*. Log can be used to rotate all the log files in that directory. This is actually the third example, that I cut off.

Thanks, but I need a logger for each process. Is that possible with this class? – mikip Nov 30 '10 at 16:50 It should be possible if you have an id for each process - then you can bake the id into the filename.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
