Project Internet

Project Internet is composed of documents, resources and system development concepts that I authored/co-authored/assist in propaganda/brazenly plagiarized involving the Internet in general or its science or its study. It is my hope that this endeavor will ultimately benefit the Internet community as I am only in the pursuit of the advancement of the Internet's best interest. Yeah, right.

Value -1 0 1 2 3
Description Cursor type not specified. Default, a forward scrolling only, static cursor where changes made by other users are not visible. A keyset cursor allows you to see dynamic changes to a specific group of records but you cannot see new records added by other users. A dynamic cursor with both forward and backward scrolling where additions, deletions, insertions, and updates made by other users are visible. A static cursor allowing forward and backward scrolling of a fixed, unchangeable set of records.

Rotate Abyss Web Server Logs By Month

Here's how to automatically rotate Abyss web server logs by month in 32-bit Windows.

Assumptions:

  1. The Abyss web server log file is in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\log\access.log.
  2. Windows has a yyyy/mm/dd date format from its Date and Time Control Panel applet.
  3. Windows has a fully functioning Task Scheduler (all related services are running).

Steps:

  1. Create a batch file with the following contents.

    for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/ " %%a in ("%DATE%") do (
set yyyy=%%a
set mm=%%b
set dd=%%c)

rem the order of %%a, %%b and %%c are system dependent! (control-panel, date/time settings)

echo %dd%
echo %mm%
echo %yyyy%

if not exist "ac%yyyy%%mm%.log" (
net stop AbyssWebServer
rem (move the log file in another folder, example: access.22.11.2005.log)
ren "access.log" "ac%yyyy%%mm%.log"
rem (Abyss start and create a new log file)
net start AbyssWebServer
)
pause
  2. Create a multiple time scheduled task (or make it run daily) to run the above batch file.
  3. Test the damn thing and smile to the world around you to make it a little better.
