Hi
My /var/log/messages is growing, is there a standard way to rotate this? The same goes for zypper.log which used to rotate, the last time it was 04-Nov last year. I'm sure this was al automatic at one point in time.
logrotate is the standard way to do it. In 13.2 it's driven by a systemd timer, but it's not been enabled by default. See "systemctl status logrotate.timer". Thanks Per. It was Inactive(dead), surprised its not enabled by default.
I've been delaying upgrading from 13.1 to 13.2 I always delay upgrades. The day 1 release on the DVD always has some problems/bugs/hazards. I get the feeling that 13.2 has more than 13.1 did, but that may simply be an observer fallacy. I know that the DVD doesn't get updated and the updates from the repositories will address many issues. The longer I wait the greater the flood of initial updates will be.
But I wonder if things like this will be in that flood?
Unless somebody reports the problem, it most likely wont. I haven't reported it because I have my own logrotate setup, which is run via cron. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
