I'm finding that something is truncating my accounting logs periodically,
and I don't want that to happen. Currently, without log rotation, the
logs seem to store about 5 days worth of data for our more heavily used
printers. I know that "checkpc" can truncate the logs. I reboot the
spoolers weekly, so a "truncate on lpd start" feature may be coming into
play. I didn't use any exotic options when I built lprng.
So, does anyone know:
-What's truncating the logs?
-How do I stop it?
FWIW, a sample bit of my printcap file:
.servercommon:
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/lprng/%P
:af=/var/spool/lpd/lprng/%P.log
:create_files=TRUE
:ar=TRUE
:mx=0
:lpd_bounce
:force_localhost@
:filter=/usr/local/libexec/filters/ifhp
:append_z=duplex
:remove_z=simplex
:ab
:bl=$P $h $n $J $t
:bp=/usr/local/libexec/filters/bannerpage.perl
