Or use logrotate. Google it... here's how I do it... [root@Huntington logrotate.d]# cat asterisk /var/log/asterisk/messages /var/log/asterisk/*log { monthly rotate 12 missingok notifempty sharedscripts postrotate /usr/sbin/asterisk -rx 'logger reload' > /dev/null 2> /dev/null endscript } [root@Huntington logrotate.d]# pwd /etc/logrotate.d [root@Huntington logrotate.d]# On Mon, Sep 7, 2015 at 12:53 PM, David McGough <kb4fxc@inttek.net> wrote:
If you're not concerned about saving debug info, just delete the file. You may have to restart Asterisk to get it to "let loose" of the old file.
If you do need debug into, mv the messages file to another name (like: messages.20150907) and then gzip it; that log is -very- compressible.

astdb is small - 8k, but /var/log/asterisk/messages is 16G!... can I just delete it, and it will start over again. Otherwise, how do I shrink it down?
Thanks much!

Also, /var/lib/asterisk/astdb can grow HUGE (for no "good" reason).

Check out the /var/log directory, including /var/log/asterisk

We have an ACID build on one of our repeaters that has been crashing. It appears hda1 is full. I'm looking for suggestions to clean it up.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 18G 18G 0 100% / tmpfs 375M 0 375M 0% /dev/shm
[root@xxx /]# du -ks /* | sort -nr | head 16124492 /var 1466656 /usr 126644 /lib 91508 /etc 30580 /sbin 11004 /boot 7336 /bin 932 /tmp 172 /root 92 /dev [root@xxx /]#
with just a few bytes in root... I can't account for 18G used of disk space. My other ACID build looks good and only uses about 2.7 G.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Bob kk6ecm
