Hi Martijn,
Thanks to you and Johan for freeing up the space.
I've looked into the Apache2 documentation and piped logs look like a
possible way to handle this log filling up case.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/logs.html#piped
Basically the log output is sent using a pipe to a command (rotatelogs
in their examples but it could be any program).
It looks to me like the log content is received via STDIN on the command
specified and then it acts as a proxy to the actual log file. Based on
conditions like file size and or the current date the target log file is
switched.
I found the source for the rotatelogs command here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/tags/2.3.9/support/rotatelogs.c
It supports switching the target file but not limiting the maximum
number allowed to exist or looking at the message content.
Here is an apache2 module that is supposed to support auto log rotation
and capping the number of files allowed to exist:

Johan has cleaned up /var.
In this case it's not a question of cleaning out the logs. Apparently something
is misconfigured according to httpd. And that fills up the logs.

Hello,
Hudson is stuck again because the wicketstuff.org disk is full. I tried
cleaning out the maven local repository but that doesn't fix the problem.
Can someone with the appropriate access check it out?
Is the problem something that would be scriptable? I can write something for a
cron job if it is.
I believe in the past its been related to logs not rolling? maybe this link
would be of use:
http://mifosforge.jira.com/wiki/display/MIFOS/Rolling+Tomcat+Logs
it says that if you put a log4j.properties file into the $CATALINA_HOME/lib
directory you can specify to roll the logs.
In terms of upgrading hudson I believe it has to occur with a tomcat restart,
if one is required to fix the space issue could the latest version 1.388 be
installed?
Its available from here: http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/hudson/war/latest/hudson.war
(we are currently running version 1.367)
Thanks,
Mike
