You can run
/usr/sbin/syslogd-listfiles --all
to get a list of all log files that are under the control of sysklogd.
If you want to change the behavior you have to look at
/etc/cron.daily/sysklogd
/etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd
The relevant lines in these two scripts are:
savelog -g adm -m 640 -u root -c 7 $LOG >/dev/null
savelog -g adm -m 640 -u root -c 4 $LOG >/dev/null
Adding the -l option will prevent compression; -c controls how many old
snapshots are kept.
Florian,
Thanks! With the listfiles-command i can see that mail.log is under
control by sysklogd.
I can see the corresponding lines in cron.daily(and weekly)/sysklogd.
My question: How do i exclude mail.log from sysklogd?
Is there a reason to run sysklogd instead of logrotate? Seems rather
pointless to have both?
Thank you
/ Martin
