rotatee

rotatee

rotatee is a simple program that works like tee with some extension:

• rotatee copies input to output file(s) with rotation.
• Multiple rotation methods supported
  • size-based
  • period-based

rotatee is inspired by some popular programs such as

• rotatelogs
• cronolog
• logback

Install

TBD

Options

See rotatee --help.

Examples

Like tee:

$ echo 'hoge' | rotatee hoge.txt

Rolling period is guessed from the format:

$ for i in `seq 1 3`; do echo 'hoge'; sleep 1; done | rotatee /tmp/hoge-%S.log
hoge
hoge
hoge
$ ls /tmp/ | grep hoge
hoge-10.log
hoge-11.log
hoge-12.log
hoge-13.log

Size-based rolling:

$ echo "abcdefg" | ./rotatee --size 3B --history 10 /tmp/size%i.log
abcdefg
$ cat /tmp/size2.log /tmp/size1.log /tmp/size.log
abcdefg

TODO

• Add more test cases
• Rolling with archive
