jstart (jsub -continuous) will likely cause log files to grow rapidly over
time.
Though it is nice that it doesn't clear the files on start (so that the logs
are preserved when a node goes down and the job is restarted elsewhere), it
comes at the cost of logs that are never trimmed and never reset.
It would be nice if jstart had a built-in feature to rotate the .err and/or
.out files (or make it very easy to set up logrotate.d for it with some kind of
dotfile in the tools home directory).
Coren and I were chatting about this on IRC.
Perhaps something like this:
Usage jstart --log-maxage='1 week' --log-rotate='daily'
You can imagine how it would work and what kind of values it'll take.
