[ATrpms-users] log-rotate facility for mythtv

[Jeffrey J. Kosowsky]

Just noticed that the /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log just continues
growing forever (so does /var/log/mythtfilldatabase but it seems to
collect much less information). Even worse, since mythbackend.log is
'hidden' in the subdirectory /var/log/mythtv, casual users may not
notice how big the log file is getting...

Would it be reasonable to add a logrotate facility for the mythtv
rpms?

Something like the following would work:

/etc/logrotate.d/mythtv

		# Logrotate file for mythtv log files
		
		/var/log/mythfilldatabase.log {
		    compress			
		    missingok
		    notifempty
		    monthly
			rotate 2
		    copytruncate
		}

		/var/log/myth/mythbackend.log {
		    compress			
		    missingok
		    notifempty
		    weekly
			rotate 4
		    copytruncate
		}
