Unique log file names with command line parameters

[Floyd]

Does anyone know if it is possible to use date parameters in the command line to create unique server log file names? And if so, what the syntax might be..

For example: -log=Serverlog%d

Not sure what you mean,the logs are already date and time stamped.

The server is setup to automatically restart upon a crash. When it restarts, it overwrites the log file. That makes it hard to determine which file and and a what point the server crashed.

By creating a unique filename, the log file wouldn't get overwritten.

Perhaps there is a command line switch that I'm unaware of?

My log isn't overwritten when the server crashes, a new log is created as well as a .dmp file.,but the old log is still there.

In ROEngine.ini check this section,i have mine set to delete all log files after 3 days,you can change this to whatever suits.:

[LogFiles]
PurgeLogsDays=3
LogTimes=True

Interesting. ROEngine.ini is set up just like yours. The .dmp files are there, but not the backup logfiles.
