Log rotation

[sethg at ropine.com (Seth Gordon)]

Hmm, I'll have to look at that Logfile::Rotate module on Monday.  Thanks.

If anyone has entirely too much free time over the weekend, they can
explain to me why this script doesn't copy its input into the log file
(as I expected), but just seems to write a stream of blank lines:

#!/util/bin/bash
trap 'cp log.recent log.`date -I` ' 1 # SIGHUP
trap 'exit 0' 13 # SIGPIPE
while [ read $line ]; do
    echo "$line" >>log.recent
done 

Ciao,

will be judged and I will be taken with him.'  Shmuel would only cross a
bridge when an idolator was on it; he said, 'Satan cannot rule two nations [at
once].'  Rabbi Yannai would examine [the bridge] and cross."  --Shabbat 32a
