Hi, I have log of my app rotated by logrotate, but when you just redirect process output it won't work that way, unless you restart your app. In my opinion you should make your own Qt message handler, have it on some global variable/class like Singleton, and let it write to specific file not just to stdout, or stderr. Then in logrotate after rotating you must send signal to your app, to release file inode, and open new one (simpy close and open file again) So, something like: postrotate /etc/init.d/myapp restart endscript and inside this sh script you should send SIGHUP to your app. regards Marek > > On Fri, Sep 27, 2013 at 9:34 AM, Koehne Kai <kai.koe...@digia.com> wrote: > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: interest-bounces+kai.koehne=digia....@qt-project.org > > > [mailto:interest-bounces+kai.koehne=digia....@qt-project.org] On Behalf > > > Of Francesco Lamonica > > > Sent: Friday, September 27, 2013 9:14 AM > > > To: interest > > > Subject: [Interest] logrotating qDebug > > > > > > Hi all, > > > i am using logrotate on a file that is populated by qDebug() statements > > > > of my > > > > > app (that does not get restarted). > > > Sometimes ( i have been unable to find the behaviour's causes so far ) > > > > the > > > > > logorotating does not happen and what i get is what seems to be a > > > binary file. > > > Any ideas what might be happening? > > > > I don't have experience with logrotate ... anyhow, how are you generating > > the log file?
