Description:	When doing a logger rotate, this simple patch allows you to specify that you want the log file renaming with a timestamp instead of a sequence (e.g. queue_log.1159083226 instead of queue_log.1) This is better for us as our external log analyser programs can now easily determine if they have already processed this file by using the filename as a key rather than relying on the date / time the file was created. ****** ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ****** I have tested this on 1.4 beta2 svn. debug, event_log, messages and queue all get rotated with a timestamp if the new option is specified
Comments:	By: Serge Vecher (serge-v) 2006-09-25 08:28:17 jmls: nice patch! 1) I do believe this would be considered a "new feature", so switching this to trunk. 2) Need some spaces in this line: (x=0;;x++) By: jmls (jmls) 2006-09-25 10:01:36 the (x=0;;x++) was in the original file, I merely indented it. However, have updated as you suggested. Logger2.diff is the new patch By: jmls (jmls) 2006-09-25 12:31:17 I agree that it is a new feature, but as it doesn't affect or require any structure changes and 1.4 hasn't been released as a fcs, and it is a simple patch and it is simple to check, would you reconsider including it in 1.4 ? I wouldn't want to have to keep patching my systems until 1.6 came out :) By: jmls (jmls) 2006-10-01 12:37:15 any chance of this being considered for 1.4 ?
