Rotating log files

2001-11-07 Thread Nigel Pauli
Does anyone have any recommendations for a utility that will rotate mail log files in much the same way as squid -k rotate does? I've done a google search but the best I've turned up is newsyslog which only runs (I think) on BSD. A pointer to a HOW-TO or tutorial article that teaches me how to

Hi, I generallly keep some of my log files open ni a terminal via tail -f. For example: tail -f /var/log/messages However, tail does not "move" to the new "messages" (or whatever) log file when they are rotated by savelog. So for example, I will still see the last lines from the old messages file

The problem wasn't what I thought it was..:-) Most of my PCs are turned on when necessary and turned off when not. The default Debian setup is to do run-parts /etc/cron.daily in the morning (6:42am), but my PCs are most likely to be turned off at that time. So no rotations are done. (I can cha

I believe that in Debian 1.3 (or was it 1.2?), the cron package came with crontabs that will rotate the log files in /var/log. This does not appear to be the case with Debian 2.0. Has the crontabs become a separate package? Or do one have to write his/her own? Thanks, Fumi Okushi
