Console Mac OS X.3 on G3's
Anyone know how I can stop console from generating randomly sized log's namely the log titled console.log that syphons off my Hard drives existing space when the computer is left on for over 24 hours non-stop? All other console logs remain around 4kb but this one seems to grow especially when the computer is on the internet. So far I can only recover the space by moving the log to the trash, restarting and emptying the trash after reboot. It's a little annoying especially during downloads. Any ideas appreciated :) Regards Christian

What size are we talking here? My computer is connected to the new via airport 24/7 and my whole Library/log/console/ folder is about 60k with logs going back to last month. Have you tried reading the logs to find out what is generating all the data?

I'm talking a growth from 4KB to 2.5GB and 3GB. The thing is it's unrecognisable and caused console to crash when opening the massive log. I'm getting the same issue on 3 G3's that are connected to internet over Airport and when left on over night generate 3 gig of logging that syphons all hard drive space. Restart recovers say 300MB and deleting the log recovers all space. Regards Christian On 11/06/2005, at 12:14 AM, Rob Findlay wrote: What size are we talking here?

Hi, In message [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Sat, Jun 11, 2005 at 04:38:10PM +0800, Christian Kotz wrote: I'm talking a growth from 4KB to 2.5GB and 3GB. The thing is it's unrecognisable and caused console to crash when opening the massive log. You'll have to find a way of reading console.log. One way is to go to the Terminal (Applications Utilities). There, you'll need to type: tail /Library/Logs/Console/$USER/console.log Hopefully, the cause of the problem will be apparent after that (might not be, though).
