  4. # whenever the host can't handle those log files from OS level (e.g. on shared/managed hosting environments)

  8. #
  9. # Argument 1: path to logfile (string)
  10. # Argument 2: backupCount (int)
  11. #
  12. #  0 1 * *  * /path/to/releases/current/bin/logrotate.py /path/to/releases/current/var/log/typo3/typo3.log 4 > /dev/null
  13. #  0 1 * *  * /path/to/releases/current/bin/logrotate.py /path/to/releases/current/var/log/typo3/solr.log 4 > /dev/null
