@Martin, Can't we add a filter before redirecting to the error file? Instead of:
exec >>"$ERRFILE" 2>&1 we could have exec | /usr/bin/fifo "2048" "$ERRFILE" 2>&1 fifo is a simple program (a script or even C program) that reads from stdin and writes to an output file while the file size is under a limit of a given number of KB, then it deletes full lines from the start of the file until the file is under the limit again, so it can keep writing. It is pointless to have a xsession-error of more than 2MB (even 1MB seems already too much). -- .xsession_errors file grows out of control & saturates disk space https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/60448 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
