OCTO_LOGROTATE(1)

📦 version 1.0.6, in ubuntu jammy

✨ octo_logrotate(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the octo_logrotate page 💅 this one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of your man pages, so you know it's the good stuff. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

octo_logrotate — the Octopussy Logrotate program 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, octo_logrotate does one thing and it does it iconically: it deletes log files that are older than the number of days you defined in your Device configuration. that's it. that's the whole vibe. your logs get their little glow-up retirement party and then they're gone 💀✨

no cap, the day count comes from the Device config, so go check that if you're confused about why your logs keep vanishing.

💖 FUNCTIONS 💖

🌈 Get_Directories($dir)

returns a list of Directories from Directory $dir. yes literally just that. it goes in, it looks around, it hands you back the directories it found. main character behavior honestly 👑

🍓 Get_Logrotate_Limit($service, $type, $conf)

gets the logrotate & limit values for Service $service 🧚

⭐ Rotate_Logs($device)

deletes Log Files for the specified Device $device. this is the one that actually does the deleting, so like... be aware. it's giving "the fun one at the party who also drives everyone home" 😭🔥
