Re: Log rotation in Debian /var/log
OK, I see sysklogd.
This seems needlessly complex: how many different log rotating tools do
we need to have on a system in order to do the job? Debian should pick
one and try to move all the standard system services to use that one
tool, IMO.
Next question: how in the heck are the Apache logs rotated?
As far as I can tell, sysklogd doesn't do so. Anyway, none of the
invocations of syslog-listfiles I came up with listed any of them to be
rotated. Also, the apache config doesn't appear to use the method
suggested in the Apache web site (pipe to rotatelogs or whatever).
Nevertheless, my /var/log/apache/* log files are without a doubt being
rotated.
Who is doing it, and from where?!?!
Enquiring minds want to know...
