Reminder to anybody running a bitcoind server:   be sure the debug.log isn't filling up your server's disk.  With the slashdotting, now might be a good time to setup a debug.log housekeeping system. @p{par}

I'm doing this on my Debian server: @p{par}

My crontab:
Code:
# Rotate bitcoin logs @p{brk}
0 8 * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate @p{--}state /home/gavin/.bitcoin/logrotate.state /home/gavin/bc_logrotate.conf @p{brk}

My bc_logrotate.conf file:
Code:
#  @p{brk}
# Rotate the bitcoin debug.log file @p{brk}
# @p{brk}
# This should be added to crontab to be run every day: @p{brk}
#  /usr/sbin/logrotate /path/to/bc_logrotate.conf @p{brk}
# @p{brk}
compress @p{brk}
copytruncate @p{par}

/home/gavin/.bitcoin/debug.log { @p{brk}
@p{(tt}	@p{??)}rotate 5 @p{brk}
} @p{brk}
