change logfile destination

[col-panic]

Currently you are logging the stuff to /var/log/messages, I would like to separate this please, could you please check that I may set a different log location for all redmine_medelexis related tasks (licenses, cleanup, trial to licensed scripts ...) thanks

lib/medelexis_helpers.rb contains the method log_to_system which could be patched easily. For ruby-logging see http://rubylearning.com/satishtalim/ruby_logging.html.

Can you answer the following question:

• Should ruby do a monthly/weekly/daily rotating of the logs (1 liner)?
• How should the log file be called? I propose /var/log/.log? Meaning that when you access http://mis.example.org/more/info log entries would be placed under /var/log/mis.example.org.log

I would rather prefer doing the logging using logrotate, s.t. its configurable in LInux

the logfilename is good! But how do you find about the hostname?

thanks

Why do you want to configure it under Linux: Ruby allows the same functionality. You just have to define your requirements: see http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib-2.1.3/libdoc/logger/rdoc/Logger.html
