Hi, I assume you desktop system is not powered on 24 h per day.
So you possibly want to install anacron and logrotate. anacron will make sure that a daily job is run daily --- even if you power up only for an hour a day. logrotate will backup and compress your logfiles and remove the old ones, example: ls -l /var/log/syslog* -rw-r----- 1 root adm 13780 Feb 1 14:42 /var/log/syslog -rw-r----- 1 root adm 181982 Feb 1 11:42 /var/log/syslog.0 -rw-r----- 1 root adm 23203 Jan 31 10:55 /var/log/syslog.1.gz -rw-r----- 1 root adm 11702 Jan 30 09:00 /var/log/syslog.2.gz -rw-r----- 1 root adm 17344 Jan 29 08:02 /var/log/syslog.3.gz -rw-r----- 1 root adm 23581 Jan 28 08:17 /var/log/syslog.4.gz -rw-r----- 1 root adm 41200 Jan 27 08:11 /var/log/syslog.5.gz -rw-r----- 1 root adm 20995 Jan 26 08:16 /var/log/syslog.6.gz Thats what I have, and du -sk /var/log/ 11381 /var/log 11 MB is ok. I have hot needed to manually change the configuration for logrotate or anacron. Cheers, Erich -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
