The problem is, all the changes made to /var/log is cleaned then I reboot the machine. I want to have the option to store some extra logfiles att startup. I tried to create the logfiles in /etc/rc.local , but rc.local is executed to late. Lighttpd need two logfiles to startup, one option is to move them away from /var/log, but thats wrong. Where do tinyBSD store/create the logfiles that is loaded in to /var/log ? I want to add two extra logfiles that should be loaded att startup. My TinyBSD options in rc.conf is: varmfs="YES" populate_var="YES" varsize="8192" tmpmfs="YES" Best regards Micke On 22 November 2010 11:45, Markus Hitter <mah@jump-ing.de> wrote: > > Am 21.11.2010 um 22:52 schrieb Micke: > > > Does anyone know where to store the log-files so they vill appear at the >> /var/log directory ? >> > > You want /var to be writeable.
