Sorry for answering in private, but I do not want to blur the zope list with Debian stuff. Feel free to quote me anywhere you want in public. On Fri, 25 Oct 2002, De ZORZI Frederic wrote:
If you use GNU/Linux Debian, simply put that (executable) script in /etc/cron.monhtly :

echo "Rotating zope server logfile" cd /var/lib/zope/var/ By the way, this is a long standing bug in the Zope package: See bugs #57799, #60533, #71923 and #100158.
savelog -g root -m 640 -u root -c 7 /var/lib/zope/var/Z2.log > /dev/null This file is empty since one month for me which is really strange. Any hint whether this might be caused because of my log rotation procedure:

/dev/null /etc/init.d/zope restart Is it really necessary to restart Zope? This seems really strange to me and I would think this is a real bug in Zope.
The 'savelog' script is in debianutils package (a little bash script)
If not, why don't you use debian ? :) Is there any other option to run a rock solid Linux??
Kind regards Andreas.
