| == Stop runaway errors from devouring your drive space ==
| |
|
| |
| Note: The following is still being tested.
| |
|
| |
| The intention of this script is to catch a runaway repetitive error.
| |
|
| |
| I've created the following script that you place into '''/etc/cron.hourly'''
| |
|
| |
| /var/log/*log {
| |
| hourly
| |
| rotate 10
| |
| size 2M
| |
| compress
| |
| delaycompress
| |
| copytruncate
| |
| notifempty
| |
| missingok
| |
| postrotate
| |
| mv /var/log/*.gz /var/log/old
| |
| endscript
| |
| }
| |
|
| |
| It is much the same as the script block used in the above example, except that it has '''rotate 10''' & most importantly it has the '''size 2M''' command. The '''size''' command takes precedence over the '''rotate''' command, so if any /var/log/*log file reaches a 2M file size inside of 24 hours it will be rotated. This size check happens every hour.
