Thanks to all who responded! Original Post: What setting controls the size of this log file, how do I tell it how large to grow before it rolls over? I looked in syslog.conf but I cannot Identify what determines the rollover. Summary of Responses: Pre Solaris 9: The roll over is controlled using /usr/lib/newsyslog, which is run from root's crontab. It rotates both /var/adm/messages and /var/log/syslog. 10 3 * * 0 /usr/lib/newsyslog Solaris 9: The rollover is controlled by /usr/sbin/logadm. This is a new program from Sun that will do smarter rotation, by rotating on file size or rotating on dates. The config file is /etc/logadm.conf 10 3 * * * /usr/sbin/logadm _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Dec 9 11:19:05 2002
