Description Need Real Name 2002-10-26 15:34:59 EDT

Cups has internal logrotation set, what makes log rotatiuon inconsistent with
the rest of the system,
The best way is to set 

MaxLogSize 0

in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf  and rotate files using script in /etc/logrotate.d/

/var/log/cups/*.log {
  missingok
  notifempty
  sharedscripts
  postrotate
    /etc/init.d/cups restart >/dev/null` 2>&1 || true
  endscript
}

This will make log rotation more consistent.

Comment 1 Need Real Name 2002-10-26 15:39:18 EDT

In addition:
/etc/init.d/cups restart >/dev/null 2>&1 || true
should not be used in scrip because 
this will start cups even if it should not be started.

The best way is to use pid, put cups seems does not create such file
in /var/run/ directory.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2002-11-08 09:53:05 EST

This is fixed in cups-1.1.15-13, which will show up in rawhide shortly.

Comment 3 giulioo 2002-12-06 17:28:01 EST

cups logs are by default *_log and not *.log, so cups.logrotate in rawhide needs
to be corrected.
