It was tough to do because of the number of entries, had to do it with kfm instead of on the command prompt. command prompt example: # cd /var/log/mail # find . -type f | xargs -t -l rm What worries me is how all of these files are getting created? By logrotate, maybe? I haven't investigated it much, but it just brought down two of my systems. I need to figure out what cron job is causing this.

And if there isn't, when will there be ! I have a 2 machines (servers) with no monitor/keyboard/mouse which I would like to be able to update automatically, the only way to work on them is by ssh. I am adding at least another 2 next month. "printerdrake" rules though, because I can run it on the print server over ssh from my windows (triple-boot 98/NT/LM7.1 - sorry, we have software that only runs on 98, and people who need to use NT) box.

Re: [expert] /var/log/news and /var/log/mail directory corruption?
An easier sure fire method is to mirror the updates directory via a script that's run by CRON. I use 'rsync'. The flags mean a=achive retain permissions and datestamp. v=verbose, --delete-after=remove deleted files and --partial=resume from last attempt. Set this to run from CRON at whatever time of the day you wish. You could set a lock file and check for it prior to running rsync and remove it once rsync has finished so that two instances of rsync wont be run at the same time. - #! /bin/sh rsync -av --delete-after --partial ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake/updates/7.1/RPMS/ \ /mnt/hd/updates/ | sed -n '/MOTD:/!p/' - Sed strips the "message of the day" remarks from the output. The following e-mail is sent to root. - receiving file list ... done ./ kdenetwork-1.1.2-19mdk.i586.rpm ./ wrote 107 bytes read 2744269 bytes 3320.48 bytes/sec total size is 161931337 speedup is 59.00 - You then either fire up the newer versions of MandrakeUpdate and set the local directory to "/mnt/hd/updates/" or whatever you've called it and proceed as normal OR if you don't like X, then a simple "rpm -Fvh newerversionof file" from the command line.

The problem (which everyone should fix in 7.1) is in the file
/etc/logrotate.d/syslog
The line that says /var/log/mail/* and /var/log/news/* causes the .gz
files to once again be rotated as well. Change the script to specify
only the files that are to be rotated. Should be (copy/paste) ...
/var/log/mail/mail.err {
rotate 5
weekly
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
/var/log/mail/mail.info {
rotate 5

postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
/var/log/mail/mail.warn {
rotate 5

postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
/var/log/news/news.crit {
rotate 5
