Clientexec Log Rotation
Under full logging level, the log file size can grow very fast. Under common Linux installations the size limit for a file is 2 Gigabytes. When the log file attains that size, CE will get locked.
To deal with this situation you can have the log be automatically rotated with Linux's _logrotate _utility.
Setting this up is dead-simple. Create a file called "clientexec", located under /etc/logrotate.d/ with the following contents:
# Logrotate file for ClientExec
/location/of/your/logfile {
size=1500M
rotate 5
compress
notifempty
create 0666 nobody nobody
}
Replace the location of your log file, and tune the rest of the settings. In this example, the log will be rotated every time it reaches a size of 1500 Megabytes, keeping the last 5 log files compressed. The fresh empty log files will be created with the permissions bitmask 666, with the username and group nobody.
