Title: Logrotate using 75% cpu time!
Post by: Black on July 13, 2005, 02:21:15 PM

Is there anyway I can get a handle on this? I actually want to just delete the old logs i dont read anymore but when I tried deleted the gziped logs with just rm command it seemed to make things worse.

Can I delete old logs and if so how?

Why is logrotate going out of control and using all the CPU time and sometimes launching up to 5 logrotate processes?


Thanks

Then you should reconfigure logrotate to do just that.

I suspect that it isn't out of control at all, it just has a lot of work to do (compressing large files).
