| + | ==== Logrotate the bot log file ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Bots log their activities in /var/log/vhffs.log by default. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In order to keep this log file ease to use create a logrotate script which is going to automatically rotate, compress and remove the log file. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Edit /etc/logrotate/logrotate.d/vhffs, here is an example: | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | /var/log/vhffs.log { | ||
| + | weekly | ||
| + | rotate 52 | ||
| + | compress | ||
| + | missingok | ||
| + | notifempty | ||
| + | create 0640 root root | ||
| + | } | ||
