This document contains detailed information about incompatibilities that might
be encountered when upgrading from one release of Exim to another. The
Version 4.50
------------
-The exicyclog script has been updated to use three-digit numbers in rotated log
-files if the maximum number to keep is greater than 99. If you are already
-keeping more than 99, there will be an incompatible change when you upgrade.
-You will probably want to rename your old log files to the new form before
-running the new exicyclog. The following script, by Mick Swisher, can do this
-for you:
-
-# Begin conversion
-# Rename all the old files by adding additional leading zeros.
-count=99
-while [ $count -gt 0 ]; do
-if [ $count -lt 100 ]; then newt=0$count; oldt=$count; fi
-if [ $count -lt 10 ]; then newt=00$count; oldt=0$count; fi
-if [ -f $mainlog.$oldt ]; then
- $mv $mainlog.$oldt $mainlog.$newt
-elif [ -f $mainlog.$oldt.$suffix ]; then
- $mv $mainlog.$oldt.$suffix $mainlog.$newt.$suffix
-fi
-if [ -f $rejectlog.$oldt ]; then
- $mv $rejectlog.$oldt $rejectlog.$newt
-elif [ -f $rejectlog.$oldt.$suffix ]; then
- $mv $rejectlog.$oldt.$suffix $rejectlog.$newt.$suffix
-fi
-count=`expr $count - 1`
-done
