hi guys, I need an help:
I installed syslog app to monitor my system. problem is that I need to delete /var/log/syslog file periodically otherwise my rootfs partition become full and I've to reflash it. So, I wrote a script to do that and I scheduled this script with alarmed. this is my script, called delete_syslog_script.sh in /home/user:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
yes|rm /var/log/syslog
I gave to my script these attributes, following #278 in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=278
downhere a screenshot of my event in alarmed.
problem is /var/log/syslog doesn't be deleted!!
so, since I'm sure my script is ok, I suppose problem come from alarmed.
any idea?
