I need to automate Lotus Domino startup and shutdown. The Lotus Notes is one of those apps that dumps stuff to the 'console' as it runs. I need to capture this in a file which I will do by redirecting the output to a file callec console.log. ok.

The Domino server must stay running 24/7. I would like the log to be "cut" daily into a file named: console20000527.log and then gziped. how would I go about cutting the log daily?

if it is not to busy a log: cp log log.copy I know that I should use cron,

but how do I create the filename that has the date at the end? cp log log. `date +%<formatoptions>`

How do I get the contents of the active log file (console.log) into the dated log file? see #2.

How do I clear out the active log file while it is still being used by the Domino server? use "> console.log" . check the behavior of domino. consult domino-doku if needed.

Should I do all this in one long command in> cro or should I put it in a script file? script is tidier
