Am I missing something or would using a lockfile (or directory) help? Something like: o check rotate trigger o if need to rotate o try to acquire lock o if blocked continue as we were else rotate logs and release lock o continue with logging as usual. Seems without raceconditions to me. BTW: Rotating logfiles seem a perfectly useful and appropriate Log target to me.

Sure you're right, that would solve the problem. But as it is log file, it's outer proportion to block a script, just because another is rotating. Anyway that should never be the logging scripts themselves that should do the rotate. Should be done from one unique admin point outer production scripts. à+ -- bertrand Gugger (toggg)
