Implemented 1 major optimization:
✅ OPTIMIZATION 12: File Logging Support with --log Flag
- Added --log flag for automatic logging to file
- Supports two formats:
* --log (auto-generates: /tmp/wordpress-cron-manager-TIMESTAMP.log)
* --log=/path/to/file (logs to specific file)
- Integrates with existing LOG_ENABLED and LOG_FILE variables
- File writable check prevents errors
- Foundation for comprehensive operation tracking
- Benefit: Enable production auditing and troubleshooting
Features Added:
- CLI: $ ./script --log (auto log file)
- CLI: $ ./script --log=/var/log/wp-cron.log (custom path)
- CLI: $ ./script --help (updated with new options)
- Error handling: Validates log file is writable before proceeding
Code Changes:
- Enhanced flag parsing with case statement improvements
- Added log file path validation
- Improved help message with examples
- Script size: 1952 → 1981 lines (+29 additions)
Logging Architecture:
- log_enabled flag controls file writes
- log_file variable stores path
- log_message() function handles both console and file output
- Foundation ready for integration into options 1-8
Example Usage:
$ ./wordpress-cron-manager.sh --dry-run --parallel --log
$ ./wordpress-cron-manager.sh --log=/var/log/wp-conversions.log --parallel
$ tail -f /tmp/wordpress-cron-manager-*.log (monitor conversion)
Next Steps for Logging Integration:
- Replace print_error calls with log_error where appropriate
- Add log_success/log_info calls to option output
- Track conversion metrics for each site
- Enable audit trail for regulatory compliance
