Hello,On Linux there is an app called logrotate, this looks after all the logs under /var/log directory.
It has a copytruncate feature: copytruncateTruncate the original log file in place after creating a copy, instead of moving the old log file and optionally creating a new one, It can be used when some pro-gram can not be told to close its logfile and thus might continue writing (appending) to the previous log file forever. Note that there is a very small time slice between copying the file and truncating it, so some logging data might be lost. When this option is used, the create option will have no effect, as the old log file stays in place.
What does FreeBSD use to rotate it's logs, it most likely has the same features ?
With logrotate you can specify size. Michael Joost de Heer wrote:
