------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-30 13:54 ------- Created an attachment (id=945) --> (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/attachment.cgi?id=945&action=view) script to be add in /etc/logrotate.d/ script to be add in /etc/logrotate.d/ this will rotate montly record.log and will rotate error.log if error.log size exceed 1M. Both will make 4 copies. if empyty or does not exist, will not give an error ( san can be add directly in logrotate package as we can assume that if jabber si installed, logrotate isinstalled too and adding a dependency against logrotate may seems superflue ) -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: UNCONFIRMED creation_date: description: I've got a request for jabber package : provide support for logrotate. Indeed I was unable to start my local jabber server until I understand that the problem's comes from /var/log/jabber/record.log and /var/log/jabber/error.log . error.log grow, and grow so much that at the end jabber doesn't want to start as error.log was too big ( more than 7Mo, maybe kopete related ... ). This limitation comes from xdb component. So adding a script in /etc/logrotate.d could did the trick and allow to don't have a jabber server stopping running at all ( this is limit a DoS against jabber ). weekly rotations should be enough with 4 copies for record.log, and rotation when filesize exceed 1M should be enough for error.log : /var/log/jabber/record.log { monthly rotate 4 notifempty missingok } /var/log/jabber/error.log { size=1M rotate 4 notifempty missingok
