Need to rotate manually or force the rotation of the file [I]kern.log[/I]
 

Hi,

I just forced the rotation of file sys.log with the command:

Is it there an equivalent command for the file kern.log, or another method to do it ???

I know that I can empty kern.log but I do not want to, I need to compress it immediately.

Thx in advance.

PS: Sorry for my english, not native.

If you create an entry for kern.log under /etc/logrotate.d, the same command should do the trick. Just copy the sys.log config (or config for any other log file) and adapt it to kern.log.
