The log file grew to this size because of other bad conditions that produced very long logfile entries. The number of processes had been limited and a script made many connections to timsieved. Cyrus logged a lot to say that it cannot create new processes. So any faster restart time would not have helped in this particular case. After this, Cyrus refused to start because of the huge logfile size. But thinking about this: shtool rotate does not seem to have a parameter to limit the upper size of a logfile. Adding a check there or within fsl probably will be more work then adding large file support to l2 and fsl. ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org User Communication List openpkg-users@openpkg.org
