Subject:	1.19 - chmod 770 for newly created log diles

Hi, I'm using Log::Dispatch::FileRotate for some weeks....thank you for this useful module. But I have a problem : the logfiles are used by web applications (with user apache) or by command lines application (another user, in the same group). When rotating (based on size), the current user is used as owner and the goup can't write to the newly created file, causing errors. Is there a simple way in your module to apply a chmod 770 to the created log files. Thank you for your help Gérald -- Gérald Salin Informatique - Plateforme GeT-PlaGe Génopole Toulouse Midi-Pyrénées Tél : 05.61.28.57.47 Fax : 05.61.28.55.93

This plugin really ought to be respecting all options used by the parent class Log::Dispatch::File, of which 'permissions' is one. You might find that Log::Dispatch::File::Stamped works out better for you - instead of rotating files periodically, it simply logs directly to the file with the timestamp already in it (and does support all base Log::Dispatch::File options).

Hi. As someone else has already pointed out, the way to do this is to pass the "permissions" option to Log::Dispatch::FileRotate->new(). This will be passed up the chain to Log::Dispatch::File. See Log::Dispatch::File for details. I'm going to resolve this ticket as a result. -- Regards, Michael Schout
