LXer: Improve system performance by moving your log files to RAM

The Ramlog project lets you keep your system logs in RAM while your machine is running and copies them to disk when you shut down. If you are running a laptop or mobile device with syslog enabled, Ramlog might help you increase your battery life or the life of the flash drive on your mobile device. As a side effect of using Ramlog, you will be less likely to be caught out by a daemon that suddenly starts sending a message to syslog every 30 seconds and saps your battery keeping the hard disk spinning.

Hi LXer,

I'm trying to uninstall RamLog but I'm getting this:

Code:

Removing ramlog ...
cp: cannot stat `/etc/init.d/ramlog': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing ramlog (--remove):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ramlog
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Do you know how I can fix this?

Thanks
