A friend asked an interesting question. He was telling me about how his Apache logs are nailing his hard drive and was wondering if there is a way for syslog to cache log data before writing it to disk. There are methods such as ramlog which will create a ramdisk at startup and then mount it at /var/log only writing to disk at system shutdown. This would be a kludgy solution as it would require a cron job to shut down the service before it became full forcing it to write the log data to disk and then restarting it. There are too many variables in that solution.
Does syslog or syslog-ng have such an option? I Googled around but came up empty. -Mathew _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
