I have heard people mention cron for the log files before. how do I use this?
I would like to automate saving the log and then ftping the log to another machine each day. Also it would be beneficial if the log was deleted after ftping across to another machine.
Thanks in advance.
Sam.

Hi Billy,
This is not a solution to your immediate problem, but just a suggestion to
help organise your logs a bit better.
cron or at
$FWDIR/bin/fw logswitch > /dev/null 2>&1 (Replace $FWDIR with it's
appropriate value.)
every night at midnight. This will help organise your log files.
best regards
Leon.

Subject: [FW-1] Too large log file
Dear all,
I try to do a "fw logswitch" since the log file size is very large (about
300M), but it fail, it display "Log switch failed".
Then, I run "fwstop" and try to rename the log file, but it display " The
Process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."
while I run the command " ren old.log new.log".
Is there any other process still running after "fwstop" ?
How to rename the file name?
Best Regards,
Billy
