Title: Log Files are too big.
Post by: RWilson on November 01, 2005, 03:17:22 PM

How do I reduce the max size of the log files? I believe they are set to grow to 5meg. how to I change this to 2 meg.

I talk to a few servers down slow links and 5meg is way too big for a log file here.

Edit /service/blah/log/run then do:

svc -t /service/blah/log

for each service "blah" you care about.

This doesn't affect /var/log/messages or /var/log/httpd/* - those are rotated by time not by size.
