[leafnode-list] Two questions about logging in Leafnode 2.
Hi,
I was hoping to get some clarification regarding logging with
leafnode-2.0.0.alpha20070602a, following some discussion of this area
in news.software.readers. I have 2 questions:
Question 1:
I note in the README that comes with the source that only the
following is mentioned as being added to /etc/syslog.conf:
news.info /var/log/news
Can I ask if there is value in also adding the following for the sake
of completion, or will needs be mostly met by 'news.info':
news.=crit -/var/log/news/news.crit
news.=err -/var/log/news/news.err
news.notice -/var/log/news/news.notice
news.info -/var/log/news/news.info
(These are given in the Slackware /etc/syslog.conf as settings for INN.)
Question 2:
Can I ask as well if there was ever any thought of including a small
section in the documentation on subsequent handling of the logfile/s
in /etc/logrotate or is this starting to move beyond the scope of a
/leafnode/ README? This came to mind when I noticed such things as
sample crontab settings in this document.
I have cobbled together the following which I was also hoping for
comment on:
/var/log/news/* {
weekly
rotate 4
olddir /var/log/news/old
missingok
postrotate
kill -1 `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`
endscript
compress
}
Thanks for time in responding to these questions, my apologies if they
are a little basic :-)
