Splitting log files by date or file size in Lighttpd.

Question

So far the only way I've found to do this is by telling Lighty to pipe its logs through an app called "vlogger". Is there a way to break out log files by date without introducing any external dependencies or cron jobs? I feel like there might be a way to do it with config file variables, but my Lighty-fu just isn't strong enough.

Edit: Looks like logrotate may be my best bet.

Answer 1

I only know the option to use syslog for log handling or additional software like "logrotate" or something similiar. Perhaps the manual helps.
