Re: Control Log File Size

[Matt McCredie]

 I've got an application running on linux which writes log files using the
 python logging module. I'm looking for some help and advice to cap the size
 which the file will grow too, something reasonably like 2Mb would be great.



 What is the best way to handle this kind of thing? Can this be done using a
 setting in the logging module? Or is it something I'll have to get the FS to
 handle for me?

Check out the RotatingFileHandler: http://docs.python.org/lib/node413.html

It is part of the logging module and should do what you want.

Examples of using alternative handlers are here:
