Old boy Education daily-day 67th-rename Access.log to Access.log.bak, where will the new Apache log be placed?

Topic

Assuming Apache generates a log file named Access_log, when Apache is running, execute the command MV Access_log Access_log.bak, after execution, ask the new Apache log will print to where, why?

Answer:

The new log will be printed in Access_log.bak, because Apache will find the Access_log file at boot time, ready to add log information to the file, although the file is renamed, but because the service is running because its inode node location has not changed, The program Open FD will still point to the original inode, not because the file name changes. Apache will continue to append the log to the renamed file, but if the Apache service is restarted, the system will check for the existence of the Access_log file and create it if it does not exist.

Note

today is the day to accompany everyone's __ 67th Day __, look forward to your progress.
