What I do is delete the file & then create a new blank one with "/usr/bin/touch" I guess if you aren't interested in whatever log it is you can shut down logging at the either source or in syslog.conf, or if you don't want ANYTHING from syslog you can shut syslog down completely (I think its in something like rc.conf or inetd.conf) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Vandenhouten" <jeremy.vandenhouten@marquette.edu> To: "Doug Young" <dougy@bryden.apana.org.au>; <questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2000 7:51 AM Subject: Re: syslog is full > No- I haven't. > > If I just go into /var/log and delete that file, will there be any > repercussions or will the daemon automatically create a new file? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Doug Young" <dougy@bryden.apana.org.au> > Date: Wednesday, November 29, 2000 3:42 pm > Subject: Re: syslog is full > > > AFAIK all outputs of syslog go in /var/log unless you've messed > > around with > > syslog.conf > > > > > > "Jeremy Vandenhouten" <jeremy.vandenhouten@marquette.edu> wrote in > > messagenews:192730193dc5.193dc5192730@marquette.edu... > > > I know this is the log for the syslog daemon.
