Not that tough. I have my squid log files rotate on a weekly basis with compression enabled. For my monthly reports, I just create a big log file by zcatting the old logfiles and catting the current logfile into a temporary logfile to be processed. > > i thought abouth touching /var/lock/subsys/whatever while the reporting > tool is running.

I would rather have logrotate sleep until the lock goes away. That way you jusr delay log rotation instead of making it go away completely. > > is there no better solution? Can you do partial data collection on a more frequent basis? Perhaps weekly? That way your processing time should be drastically reduced. Cheers, -- Javier Gostling Av.
