Daily rotation won't save you enough time behind. Try to make your programs less verbose. You can have a cron job do /usr/sbin/logrotate someconfigfile as often as you want. Just make sure someconfigfile has reasonable parameters for things like size so it won't be doing rotation and compression unless needed. To get an idea of resources used when no rotation is needed just do something like time /usr/bin/logrotate someconfigfile when the size argument is met and then do it again right away. Here is what I get when the asterisk logs don't need to be rotated: real0m0.002s user0m0.001s sys 0m0.001s ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Not possible to do natively Write a script yourself to monior it's size and invoke logrotate to rotate it when that size is reached.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Syslog file size
Thanks. I'm afraid that's the case. But I remember reading somewhere that some syslog variants of syslogd actually have the file size limit build-in. --- Brad Hughes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Not possible to do natively Write a script yourself to monior it's size and invoke logrotate to rotate it when that size is reached.
