Dear All,
These lines would help you to truncate a file in the
/var/log directory using syslogd and logrotate
I am using the maillog file as the example. Please add the following lines in
/etc/logrotate/syslog
/var/log/maillog {
weekly
rotate 5
copytruncate
compress
notifempty
missingok
}
You can call the command /usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/syslog to
invoke it at the time you want or please make it as a cron job.
Thanks
K.Deepak
