Hi All
I have written the below script to help tame my server logs. #!/bin/bash #Compress Log Files gzip /var/log/messages #Move Gzipped Files to storage folder mv /var/log/messages.gz /root/logs/system #Blat log files cat /dev/null > /var/log/messages As you can see I have only included /var/log/messages at this time. When I run this script it seems to work, with one major problem. After running the script the messages file will no longer populate with data until reboot the system. I was hoping to run this as a cron job, but can’t if I have to reboot each time. Have I got something wrong, or do I need to add something to stop this happening.
