can't you just edit the cron logrotate setup to roll it over daily instead of weekly?? thats what I did with one of my 7.2 boxs that was hosting blocks of IP's and was filling fast..
worked great.. was awhile ago, but if I remember.. I went into /etc/logrotate.d/syslog and changed weekly to daily (think thats what I did, don't quote me, go and look :-) hope that helps.. oh, and buy another harddrive :-).. I don't think syslog likes symlinks much, I vaguely remmeber trying it once and I had problems with it. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Azrael Sent: Wednesday, 5 June 2002 3:56 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] disk space advice I need to ask for some advice :) df -h gives me: /dev/hdb3 12G 11G 1.5G 88% / /dev/hdb6 2.0G 868M 1.1G 44% /home which seems fine... but nearly every day '/' gets up to 100% .. and can be brought down to 88% by deleting /var/log/syslog .. meaning this log file gets to about 1.5G in size. What can I do to prevent this? tips? I don't really like the idea of setting up a cron job to daily delete it! :) thanks
