Maximum Logfile Size?

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed a potential 'Limit' to the /var/log/z-way-server.log file? Seems to cap (and stop writing) at 2147483647 bytes

Im testing the intchart app at the moment, last time i used it, it killed the z-way-server and resulted in the halting of the log, just like i'm seeing now. Only difference this time, is the server is still running. I had to create a new log file to keep logging data.

Is this a bug?

Cheers,

Tim

This is a Linux/filesystem limit. I suggest you to set up logrotate to split into many smaller files. Z-Way accepts SIGHUP to re-open the log as many other daemons.
