+ | ==== 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 | ||
+ | } | ||
