Hi,
I have just configured my syslog.conf file to direct all error related information to a log file. I was wondering if it was possible to have some sort of circular logging here....i mean that the user log files keeps getting overwritten and does not exceed a particular size limit . I'm scared that if data just keeps getting appended i might have a system crash on my hands !!! any ideas???
I am running WBI MBV5 CSD 4 on an AIX box.

You mean, sometinhg like this:
Code:
mail.debug   /var/log/mail  rotate size 100k files 4      # 4 files, 100kB each
user.debug   /var/log/user  rotate files 12 time 1m      # 12 files, monthly rotate
kern.debug   /var/log/kern  rotate files 12 time 1m compress   # 12 files, monthly rotate, compress

It is not possible to make a syslog circular. Ask your sysadmin to write a cron job to backup and clean it up every often. Syslog follows the syslog protocol as specified in RFC 3164
