How to safely clean /var/log/messages for specific testing.
or set it to hourly rotate.
Couldn't see specific config in /etc/logrotate.d
Have tried "logrotate --force /var/log/messages"
lots of "error: /var/log/messages:7137 unknown option 'May' --
ignoring line"
I done want to nano "wipe the file" if possible
Have you looked in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog?
On my F18 it contains:
$ more /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
/var/log/cron
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
/var/log/spooler
{
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || t
rue
endscript
}
$ ls -l /var/log/messages*
