In Ubuntu 20.04 LTS the script /etc/init.d/atop calls /usr/share/atop/atop.daily which does read /etc/default/atop and uses the variable LOGGENERATIONS=28. Systemd /usr/local/lib/systemd/system/atop.service also calls /usr/share/atop/atop.daily.
Confusingly, the file /etc/default/atop says not to use it: # /etc/default/atop # this file is no longer used and will be removed in a future release Someone who knows better needs to decide how and where these configurable numbers should be set and either use the /etc/default/atop file or remove the misleading comment. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1716186 Title: log retention time period should not be hardcoded To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/atop/+bug/1716186/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
