Rotation of Access and Error Logs for Sun Java System Web Server 6Andre Cervera, November 2007 There are a bunch of ways to rotate the access and error logs for the Sun Java System Web Server. I'll discuss some of them and then show the way I think is best. Note: The procedure here was tested on Sun Java System Web Server 6.0 and 6.1 on the Solaris Operating System, releases 10, 9, and 8. A different procedure is needed for Sun Java System Web Server 7.0.
The simplest way is to use crontab to execute bash-3.00# crontab -l | grep rotate ### rotate iplanet access & errors log 0 0 * * * /opt/iplanet/servers/iplanet instance #1/rotate 0 0 * * * /opt/iplanet/servers/iplanet instance #2/rotate Another way is to use the Solaris
bash-3.00# grep iplanet /etc/logadm.conf
# rotate iplanet access & errors log
iPlanet1 -a 'kill -HUP\
`cat /opt/iplanet/servers/iplanet instance #1/logs/pid`'\
-t '/opt/iplanet/servers/iplanet instance #1/logs/$basename.%d'\
-z 0\
'/opt/iplanet/servers/iplanet instance #1/logs/*{access,errors}'
iPlanet2 -a 'kill -HUP\
`cat /opt/iplanet/servers/iplanet instance #2/logs/pid`'\
-t '/opt/iplanet/servers/iplanet instance #2/logs/$basename.%d'\
-z 0\
'/opt/iplanet/servers/iplanet instance #2/*{access,errors}'
bash-3.00# crontab -l | grep -i iplanet
### rotate iplanet access & errors log
0 0 * * * /usr/sbin/logadm -p now iPlanet1 iPlanet2
In the first example above, you need to set your editor, crontab -e, and hash the rotate entries to disable rotation and un-hash the rotate entries to enable log rotation. In the second example above, doing a Below is what I think is the best way to rotate the log files. 1. Create the following files:
bash-3.00# vi \
/opt/iplanet/servers/https-admserv/config/scheduler.conf
<Object name=iplanet instance #1/_rotatelg0>
Command "/opt/iplanet/servers/iplanet instance #1/rotate"
User root
Time 0:00
Days Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
</Object>
<Object name=iplanet instance #2/_rotatelg0>
Command "/opt/iplanet/servers/iplanet instance #2/rotate"
User root
Time 0:00
Days Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
</Object>
bash-3.00# vi /opt/iplanet/servers/https-admserv/config/
schedulerd.conf
ConfFile /opt/iplanet/servers/https-admserv/config/scheduler.conf
Dir /tmp
Status on
2. Create a startup/shutdown script:
bash-3.00$ vi /etc/init.d/schedulerd
#!/sbin/sh
#
#
# To restart, start, or stop the iPlanet schedulerd
# control daemon from command line

# Date: 09/26/2007
SERVER_ROOT=/opt/iplanet/servers
ADMSERV_ROOT=$SERVER_ROOT/https-admserv/config
PID_FILE=$SERVER_ROOT/https-admserv/logs/scheduler.pid
export SERVER_ROOT ADMSERV_ROOT PID_FILE
case "$1" in
'start')
cd $SERVER_ROOT/bin/https/bin
./schedulerd -d $SERVER_ROOT
;;
'stop')
kill -9 -`cat $PID_FILE`
rm $PID_FILE
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
3. For the Solaris 10 OS, complete the following substeps. For the Solaris 9 or 8 OS, use step 4 instead. a. Create a bash-3.00$ mkdir -p /var/svc/manifest/application/iplanet bash-3.00$ vi /var/svc/manifest/application/iplanet/schedulerd.xml <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE service_bundle SYSTEM "/usr/share/lib/xml/dtd/service_bundle.dtd.1"> <!-- Copyright 2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. Use is subject to license terms. ident "@(#)webmin.xml 1.1 04/11/11 SMI" Service manifest for iPlanet schedulerd service. --> <service_bundle type='manifest' name='schedulerd'> <service name='application/iplanet/schedulerd' type='service' version='1'> <create_default_instance enabled='false' /> <single_instance/> <dependency name='filesystem' grouping='require_all' restart_on='none' type='service'> <service_fmri value='svc:/system/filesystem/local' /> </dependency> <dependency name='network' grouping='require_all' restart_on='none' type='service'> <service_fmri value='svc:/network/initial' /> </dependency> <exec_method type='method' name='start' exec='/etc/init.d/schedulerd start' timeout_seconds='30' > </exec_method> <exec_method type='method' name='stop' exec='/etc/init.d/schedulerd stop' timeout_seconds='60' /> <stability value='Unstable' /> <template> <common_name> <loctext xml:lang='C'> iPlanet schedulerd </loctext> </common_name> </template> </service> </service_bundle> b. Import the bash-3.00# svccfg -v import \ /var/svc/manifest/application/iplanet/schedulerd.xml svccfg: Taking "initial" snapshot for svc:/application/iplanet/schedulerd:default. svccfg: Taking "last-import" snapshot for svc:/application/iplanet/schedulerd:default. svccfg: Refreshed svc:/application/iplanet/schedulerd:default. svccfg: Successful import. c. Enable the Sun Java System Web Server bash-3.00# svcadm enable \ svc:/application/iplanet/schedulerd:default 4. On the Solaris 9 or 8 OS, complete the following substeps: a. Create soft links for bash-3.00# ln -s /etc/init.d/schedulerd /etc/rc3.d/S80schedulerd bash-3.00# ln -s /etc/init.d/schedulerd /etc/rcS.d/K05schedulerd bash-3.00# ln -s /etc/init.d/schedulerd /etc/rc2.d/K05schedulerd bash-3.00# ln -s /etc/init.d/schedulerd /etc/rc1.d/K05schedulerd bash-3.00# ln -s /etc/init.d/schedulerd /etc/rc0.d/S05schedulerd b. Start the Sun Java System Web Server bash-3.00# /etc/init.d/schedulerd start Editor's Note: "iplanet" in the code above refers to the previous name of the Web Server, formerly known as Sun ONE or iPlanet Web Server.
