Hello

we use "logrotate" to manage our Linux logs, but on inspection of the  
Djigzo logs in /usr/share/djigzo/logs i found that Djigzo by itself  
create a new logfile at around 5MB and rename the old one.  
Unfortunately i failed to find where this can be configured. Any hints  
where to look?

Many Thanks

Andreas

You can specify logging details in:

/etc/djigzo/djigzo.wrapper.conf

(whish is actually a symlink to  
/usr/share/djigzo/wrapper/djigzo.wrapper.conf)

The log related settings are under: "Wrapper Logging parameters"

Kind regards,

Martijn

There are quite a large number of config files. The config files which  
end-users would probably like to edit are symlinked in /etc/djigzo. If  
there are config files missing in /etc/djigzo I can add them to the  
install script.

Kind regards,

Martijn
