Thanks for the quick response! I read about logrotate at voip-info.org but I didn't quite understand it. I'm no asterisk/linux expert unfortunately.
First of all. What exactly does happen when I run: /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger rotate' Does it clear the file and create a new one? Can I run this manually without any interruption in the system? And what does the script do? I understand it "rotates" the logs. But does it delete the old files? Where do I put the script? How do I run it? As you can see I'm really a newbie on this. Unfortunately the docs for asterisk are often with the expectation that you know everything... :) Regards, Jan -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Ex Vitorino Skickat: den 8 januari 2007 13:10 Till: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Ämne: Re: [asterisk-users] Manage 'full' log file We've been using logrotate without any issue... We're using the below quoted configuration. Notice the invocation of Asterisk's CLI "logger reload" command so as to close the old files and open new ones.
