For what it's worth, another two lessons I learned: If you start a persistent instance, then delete or rename your rulebase, when you issue a reload, you get this in your log:

I had two problems. The other was that I was running "tail" on the log file, and it wouldn't rotate, ending with an errorlevel = 63.

Hi, After 10/28 the log files have not been rotation. I even logged into the server and executed the "send-rotate" - but the current log files just continues to grow: 10/24/2004 11:00p 1,324,321 x.log.20041025040052 10/25/2004 05:44a 1,303,683 x.log.20041025104510 10/25/2004 01:37p 1,711,062 x.log.20041025183751 10/25/2004 08:25p 1,403,988 x.log.20041026012528 10/26/2004 03:19a 1,100,582 x.log.20041026082022 10/26/2004 11:17a 2,158,910 x.log.20041026161756 10/26/2004 07:11p 1,999,926 x.log.20041027001129 10/27/2004 01:53a 1,619,614 x.log.20041027065310 10/27/2004 09:52a 1,689,744 x.log.20041027145244 10/27/2004 04:41p 1,591,043 x.log.20041027214159 10/28/2004 01:11a 1,598,140 x.log.20041028061150 10/28/2004 07:22a 1,137,471 x.log.20041028122216 10/28/2004 02:27p 1,518,661 x.log.20041028192727 10/31/2004 09:09p 16,790,875 x.log Best Regards Andy Schmidt Phone: +1 201 934-3414 x20 (Business) Fax: +1 201 934-9206 This E-Mail came from the Message Sniffer mailing list.
