On systems where logrotate available (CentOS for us) this seems much
simpler than the SGE logchecker script.
I'm not sure why I couldn't find this information (looking back, I may
have just not read to the bottom of the page where the useful
information was). I had been manually rotating the accounting logs
for a while, but was vaguely aware of logchecker.sh.
Last week, I finally put the following into /etc/logrotate.d/sge_$CELL
# rotate $CELL logs automatically
/opt/sge_root/$CELL/common/accounting /opt/sge_root/$CELL/common/reporting
/var/spool/$CELL/spooldb/messages
{
compress
nocreate
dateext
delaycompress
ifempty
# keep logs essentually "forever"
rotate 5000
weekly
}
SGE appears to handle log file rolling pretty well and just creates
the log if it is missing. I used the "delaycompress" option "just in
case" things where still writing to the files, but will probably
remove it soon.
I date stamp the files and want to keep everything for later analysis.
