To change the postfix message log location

Today, look at the postfix mail server sent log, found that the size of the Maillog has been 1.3G, and is not segmented imaging maillog.1 maillog.2. That's weird!

What is this for? The original two days ago changed the location of the mail log, the system's default partition/var because the previous server installation is not planned well, this server is temporarily converted to mail use, so in a large number of mail to send the task when the disk will be very nervous, maybe when will be full of disk! (In fact, it has already been the case), this time to change the location to other areas where the space is sufficient.

First edit the configuration file/etc/syslog.conf

Will mail.*/var/log/maillog

Instead: mail.*/home/mail/maillog

Save exit.

Restart Service

Service Syslod Restart

(The reason why the file is so huge is that there are no changes to the log periodic split profile/etc/logrotate.d/syslog)

Modify/etc/logrotate.d/syslog

Will

/var/log/messages/var/log/secure/var/log/maillog/var/log/spooler/var/log/boot.log/var/log/cron {

Sharedscripts

Postrotate

/bin/kill-hup ' cat/var/run/syslogd.pid 2>/dev/null ' 2>/dev/null | | True

Endscript

}

Change to

/var/log/messages/var/log/secure/home/mail/maillog/var/log/spooler/var/log/boot.log/var/log/cron {

Sharedscripts

Postrotate

/bin/kill-hup ' cat/var/run/syslogd.pid 2>/dev/null ' 2>/dev/null | | True

Endscript

}

It's done.

Linux log function is very powerful, need to have a good grasp, so as to find the cause of the problem in the future!
