[icecast-dev] WG: Re: extended logging for icecast2

[C.Preissner at tv1.de]

Hi

I want to contribute some changes to icecast2 server;

Some improvements to logging engine of icecast ( daily and monthly 
aggregation );

<p>During every logging process I check if the actual logfile is still the 
actual one;
if not, I generate a new logfile and write the logentry in the new 
logfile;

in case, nothing changed, I write to the old logfile;

<p>it is just 3 little changes to 

logging.c,
cfgfile.c
main.c

and an extension to
icecast.xml
for different aggregation modes ( currently, daily, monthly or no 
aggregation are supported )

imple diff on the files should show you the differences ( most of them 
are in logging.c );

ince I am from the java world, and not really a hardcore c developer, I 
suppose there
is space for improvements but this version should work pretty fine anyway 
( and in case
I did not forget to add a changed source file :-(  );

it is already running on our server for several days without problems;

<p>BUT IT IS NOT YET TESTED ON WINDOWS ( just on Linux );

<p><p><p>Let me know if these are useful changes for you.

Just thought it is, since most people still seem to use logrotate,  which 
works fine for windows of course;

<p>Chris
