You know that if you rename an open Unix file, it will stay open - i.e. if
you rename the logfile "full" to "full.1", Asterisk will continue writing
to "full.1" thinking it was "full".
The "logger rotate" command forces all log files to be closed and reopened
with their canonical names, so your file is actually rotated.
Hope this helps

Super! Thanks! Now I see how the script works a bit more clearly. :)
I still don't understand what happens if I run:
/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger rotate'
Can I run the above without having the script? What will the command do?
Regards,
Jan

Hi Jan,
You should use the logrotate in order to delete the log on periodic
intervals. This article is meant to do exactly the opposite :)
http://astrecipes.net/index.php?n=205 but you get an idea of how to
setup log file rotation and how to notify Asterisk that it should open a
new file after the log rotation.
Hope this helps

Hi,
I need some help on how to manage the "full" log file. It's getting
quite large now and I'd like to clear it. Is there any simple command
for this or should I just delete the file (need to be sure this won't
affect the system).
Also - how do I keep the log file from growing so large?
Thanks!
Regards,
Jan
