I want simple piped logging without config files or system-wide rules for periodic command execution.
Are there any projects that allows to do that? Expecting something like this:
./my_program_that_generate_logs | cronologrotate /var/log/ololog/%Y_%M/%d.log --compress-after '30 days' --remove-after '1 year'
Vi.

Why not stick with
logrotateand write a little crontab that compresses after 30 days and deletes after a year? If you're interested in this I can post the relevant cron lines. – terdon – 2014-01-15T23:36:46.873For example, to avoid accessing the system as
root(or other user that edits crontab). Also using logrotate is having config files which I also sometimes try to avoid. – Vi. – 2014-01-16T02:15:20.473
