Hello,
Does anyone know how to automate the retrieval of raw access logs by setting up a cron job (or any other method)? My web host doesn't keep previous months' log files but rather resets the log file to the current month. I'd like to snag that log file on the last day of each month...
Thanks in advance for any help.

It depends on what options your host offers. If they have CPanel with the Cronjobs page, you should be able to automate it from there. I recommend contacting your host about this.

if you're on unix:
type "crontab -e" to edit the cronjob
55 23 28-31 * * cp ./logfile ./logfile.bu
