I use a simple script like:Dear Jesus Arnaiz fidodido, I think that it's better to use some kind of existing tools like logrotate, that its include in every unix flawor. It versatile and allow several thighs like compresing old logs, checking for size, history lengh and several other features. If needink help about logrotate, just let it now here.
---------/admin/rotar-qscanner.sh--------------- #!/bin/sh cd /var/spool/qmailscan if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz.10 ]; then rm -f qmail-queue.log.gz.10 fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz.09 ]; then mv qmail-queue.log.gz.09 qmail-queue.log.gz.10 fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz.08 ]; then mv qmail-queue.log.gz.08 qmail-queue.log.gz.09 fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz.07 ]; then mv qmail-queue.log.gz.07 qmail-queue.log.gz.08 fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz.06 ]; then mv qmail-queue.log.gz.06 qmail-queue.log.gz.07 fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz.05 ]; then mv qmail-queue.log.gz.05 qmail-queue.log.gz.06 fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz.04 ]; then mv qmail-queue.log.gz.04 qmail-queue.log.gz.05 fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz.03 ]; then mv qmail-queue.log.gz.03 qmail-queue.log.gz.04 fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz.02 ]; then mv qmail-queue.log.gz.02 qmail-queue.log.gz.03 fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz.01 ]; then mv qmail-queue.log.gz.01 qmail-queue.log.gz.02 fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log ]; then /usr/bin/gzip -9 qmail-queue.log fi if [ -f qmail-queue.log.gz ]; then mv qmail-queue.log.gz qmail-queue.log.gz.01 fi ------------------
And then I put on the root crontab:
0 23 * * * /admin/rotar-qscanner.sh
---- *(See the path of files and binaries may vary depends on your system)
As you can see, it runs every day, so you save last ten days; If you use it weekly you save last ten weeks...
I read it on a web page but I don't have it here, sorry

Works wonders to clear it out real quick... but you have to repeat this as it fills up (fast).
Turning off debug is best for production; it can be re-enabled at any time if you need it

Hmm I just delete the file or move it depending on my mood and it just goes on and makes a new logfile itself. As far as I know that is the correct qmail-scanner behaviour.. No need to restart anything.

file. My rotate script creates a new file sets the owner & permissions then moves the original file and moves the new file to qmail-queue.log.
cd /var/spool/qmailscan touch ./qmail-queue.log.1 chmod 600 ./qmail-queue.log.1 chown qscand:root ./qmail-queue.log.1 mv ./qmail-queue.log ./qmail-queue.log.uc mv ./qmail-queue.log.1 ./qmail-queue.log
The problem is that the log is not used until I restart qmail. How should this file be properly rotated?
Don't delete the file. Instead, copy it if you want a back log. Then Just pipe text into the old file.
ie:
cp /var/log /var/log.1 echo "restart" > /var/log
You are right, if you delete the file, you have to restart qmail.
