On the topic of the message log file, can I control the size of the message file to a certain size so that it dosen't bloat.   Cheers Sridhar   ----- Original Message ----- From: Frederic PLE To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 04, 1999 4:08 PM Subject: [expert] log file : /var/log/messages Hi again. I would like to know why sometimes I have new files in /var/log called messages.1 messages.2 etc ? Should I understand that regularly the system makes a backup called messages.x and reset the messages file ?   --  ------------------------------------------------------   Frederic PLE   email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------
