How to achieve syslog rotation in red hat linux?
 
Hi All,

I have configured /etc/syslog.conf for writing user level log messages, and it is working fine.


The line which i entered is:
user.* /home/shekhar/obj/myjob.log

But the log file keeps increasing. I would like to rotate the log file when it reaches 100Kb.

How do i do that in red hat linux ?

Looking forward for the kind response.

Thanks

"man logrotate"

See /etc/logrotate.conf or /etc/logrotate.d/*
