Re: [qmailtoaster] log files

Humm... where to begin?  The logs aren't rotated by isoqlog or mrtg...they have nothing to do with the logging of qmail.  The logging is run through multilog; which is part of the daemontools package - see http://cr.yp.to/daemontools/multilog.html, please see the section about automatic rotation.    George   ----- Original Message ----- From: Stanley Robins To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 4:55 AM Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] log files i opened all the files one by one and checked the date and i cant find anything about yesterday also.. how can this happen, is logrotate deleting my old log files ?? i have stopped isoqlog also,.. but i think mrtg is still runing as a cron script should i stop it also ?? thank you On 8/11/06, Stanley Robins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ok i will change that to 100000, but now on my send logs i did a  cat * | tai64nlocal | grep 2006-08-10 and i cannot see any entry, but i when i do 2006-08-11 i do get all the emails which were sent. also where are my old logs going that is my question..  and i read it with * still i cannot get what now ??

I personally would hate trying to read in that size and with only 50 they are rotated away too quickly.  To give you an idea you are filling your default size limit in about 9 minutes (per your post earlier).   Oh there was an earlier post telling you how to read the files with "@" in front of them... you have to use a \ before the @ to read them.   like this: cat  [EMAIL PROTECTED] | tai64nlocal     George   ----- Original Message ----- From: Stanley Robins To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 12:23 AM Subject: Re: [qmailtoaster] log files my /logsize is 40000 should i change it to 100000  ?

Those files are your log files. They've been renamed from "current" to the time and date they're reporting on.
