<DIV>Thanks for that prompt answer.</DIV>

<DIV>I think i may not have made my self clear on question 2. I was not thinking about scripting this bit 'in-game' but when i started the server up. So it would be in the start up command that was executed in linux. I understand that i would still get one log file (even if it was prefixed with a date) until i restarted the server but i can look at some cron jobs to bounce it at a quite point of the day. </DIV>

The log file name is set in the server config file, so unless a script wizard knows how to rewrite the a config file that has the line set g_log "games_mp.log" and can change it to increment the date each day, and then reboot the server, it would not be possible. You can, however, do as in #1.</SPAN></FONT></P>
