my logroll code, please critique
 

My goal is to keep 10 files each at 100Mb. Please critique and suggest
any corrections I need to make. Thank you!

You forgot log.9, and the very fact that this can happen, along with the
patterned repetition here, would appear to be a Bad Smell (as in
"Refactoring"). Why 30 hard-coded lines when a 5-line loop will do? m.

Another thing that struck me is the usage of File.copy. File.rename
would be much more efficient plus it would not change the last
modification time of the file.

Derek, I'm interested in what your trying to do here, and in the
comments it's elicited. Could you share you revised code, when it's
ready (or backchannel it, if you wish). I could definitely USE this!

Take a look at the "logging" gem. The RollingFile appender will do
exactly this -- rolling files based on size or age. Moreover, it will
safely roll the files even if multiple processes are writing to the
same file.

rubyforge.org/projects/logging

I did look into this gem, but the documentation was weak and I tried to
work it, but could not and failed so I wrote my own since I am new to
Ruby. A good learning exp!....yucky Perl, ugly code is not for me!

Will anyone share good sample code for logging?
Thanks to all that replied, but Matt will you show me this loop you
referred to?


Thank you!

I use SyslogLogger (which adapts Syslog to a Logger API) and newsyslog
to rotate logs.

There's the logger.rb in the ruby standard library (or did someone
mention that already?). It handles rotation, log levels, but perhaps not
multiprocess safety.

Here is my updated code, but how do I look at the documentation from the
CLI for logger, logging or any gem? For example, if I want to look at
Perl docs I use perldoc -f "builtin function" or perldoc -q "F.A.Q."
Finally, what about a central logging block for when at anytime 'raise
StandardError' is called, the script will log to one logfile. Will
anyone suggest code or how to do this?


thank you!

http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/

Look in the left panel for "logger".

This site is still pretty useful (though I don't know if it is
frequently updated).
