Making progress, looks like logrotate.d is running on my server, if I download
and edit the logrotate.conf file to add the following, would that do it in your
opinion:
# Rotate Kannel Log Files to Save Space on Disk
/var/log/kannel/*.log { daily missingok rotate 365 compress
delaycompress notifempty create 640 kannel adm sharedscripts
postrotate killall -HUP bearerbox smsbox wapbox > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
|| true endscript}

No, this script is simply is for logrotate, you need to install logrotate
before that and put that script into /etc/logrotate.d (might depend on your
distro, but generally this is a location).
If you need to archive your current logfile, I'd suggest stopping kannel, doing
bzip2 *.log
in your kannel's directory, with logrotate running this would be done
automatically, also you can configure logs purging
please include users @ kannel .org, so others would benefit too.

Hey mate, thank you for quick reply. Basically my host is telling me at 92%
drive usage. Would this script be run from typical command line exactly as
written below? Sorry I"m not super technical with command lines (manager of the
site for users). If your on skype might be easier to chat also, really
appreciate any help you can give in walking me thru as a "newb" :-)
skype is crucible_67
Thanks again,

here is a simple script for logrotate:
/var/log/kannel/*.log {
daily
missingok
rotate 365
compress
delaycompress
notifempty
create 640 kannel adm
sharedscripts
postrotate
killall -HUP bearerbox smsbox wapbox > /dev/null 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}

You can delete the log file without breaking the installation, however i
recommend the logrotate script that come in the user guide in order to optimize
space

Hello guys, I have Kannel running successfully for over a year. We have built
up a 1 Gig smpp.log file and I need to create a little extra space on the SMSC.
What log files am I safe deleting to achieve the goal of more disk space, and
NOT breaking the install.
Thanks everyone in advance
Bryan
