The way I handled this type of issue was to link
the current file to another file with a static name, such as
"oracle.log.current". Then I set up a crontab entry to relink to the next
day's file at midnight. Then I set up BB to monitor the linked file.
Crude, yes, but it works.
How do I monitor a log file whose extension is like this .`date
+%m%d%y`?
This is bascially a log file created by oracle and it looks
like this
/var/log/oracle.log.`date +%m%d%y`
Can I place a log
file exactly like the same above format in the bb-msgtab file? I do not want to
scan the all log files but just current date.
Thanks
