Re: Multilog failing to rotate logfiles

Good evening group

I just want to say thanks for all of the fast and courteous help I have 
gotten from this group. 

Yesterday I was able to figure out what my problem was.  basically, I 
was using Logwatch to send me a summary of my log files at 0400 JST.    
and because Multilog uses tai64n to convert the timestamps, I found a 
post in a forum that had a package to use with the way qmail is setup 
according to LWQ (Life With Qmail).  What I overlooked was that I was 
suppose to use temp files after the timestamps were converted back to 
local time.  I was concatinating the contents after the convert back 
into the log files.    and I am assuming that it did it a few times (a 
loop maybe) which would explain the ballooning of my log files.  What I 
can't understand is why Multilog wouldn't rotate the files out after 
10MB.  Maybe because the logfiles were not in any order, very out of 
order as far as time was concerned.

I will keep monitoring it over the weekend.  If there is any other 
problems or if the problem is solved then I will wriet again on Monday.

Again Thank you very much.
