Command to execute: logrotate, trace or info - **-a, --url=URL** Required option. URL where the administration interface can be found. This target must be defined previously in cherokee-admin, enabling a "Remote Administration" type handler (Virtual Servers-\>Behaviour-\>Add new rule, and then Handler-\>"Remote Administration"). The deffinition of a security mechanism is highly encouraged. - **-l, --log=PATH** Log file to be rotated (Only to be used when -c is logrotate) - **-t, --trace=STRING** Modules to be traced (Only to be used when -c is trace). Cherokee must have been compiled with the --enable-trace for this to work. Everything traceable with CHEROKEE\_TRACE can also be traced this way. ## SEE ALSO *cherokee-admin*(8) This program is a part of the Cherokee web server, [*cherokee*(1)](/cherokee/1.md) ## AUTHOR This manual page was written by Gunnar Wolf \, for the Debian GNU/linux system (but may be used by others).
