rez.nuxx.net

Just FYI, the websites on rez.nuxx.net will be inaccessible for a brief period of time tomorrow. I hope for this to be in the morning, and for under a minute in time. In short, I have to replace the version of cronolog I installed earlier today. The current version (from ports) defaults to writing all files as root, which isn’t good. Fortunately this patch from 2002 seems to have it flop to whatever UID/GID one specifies before writing the files.

I want to move to this version… This should be a quick, seamless switch. Add the appropriate flags to the Apache config files, stop httpd, replace the binary, set appropriate permissions on existing files so they can be appended, start httpd, done.

I’m just paranoid, and I wanted to give people a heads-up in case things seem slightly amiss for a few minutes tomorrow.

Oh, and yeah, the whole new way of rotating logs seems to work great. Parsing all logs generated since ~5pm today took under a minute.
