cyclog line?

2001-02-23 Thread Bill Parker 

Hi All,

I'm looking to make my log files /var/qmail/log hold more
info before starting a new file with cyclog:

I have modified my startup script line to look like this
for cyclog:

/usr/local/bin/cyclog -s256000 /var/log/qmail (start and
end stuff left off to save space)

Now according to the man page for cyclog:

cyclog [ -ssize ] [ -nnum ] [ -mmargin ] dir

where:

-ssize (Default: 104000. Minimum: 512.)  Maximum file size.
After  writing  this  many bytes to one file, cyclog will
start a new file.

Is there a space needed between the -s or not?  I know I
have to stop and start qmail for this to take effect as
well (right?)

-Bill

No.  You don't believe TFM?

 No.  You don't believe TFM?

And... What happens when you try it both ways? Such an experiment
won't create world hunger - give it a try and report and discrepancies
with the documentation back to the list.

Sometimes a simple experiment is going to give you a more reliable
learning experience than just asking a list.
