Virtual TapeServer 8.0 Configuration Guide

124 | Managing the VTS Server
The system facility, which is called logrotate, is used to rotate log files on a daily basis. The
configuration files for logrotate are located in /etc/logrotate.d. You can tune the settings in
this file to rotate and overwrite files as needed.
Several scripts are available that clean up after files that were created and abandoned due to
system or application errors. These include the following:
• rmoldpipes
• rmoldbylist
•rmoldsync
• rmoldfilelist.pl
In addition, errors in processes such as cron can cause mail messages to accumulate in the
mail directories. If a mail transfer agent is configured and running on the VTS server but
forwarding for the root and bill accounts is not configured, mail can accumulate in the mail
folders.
Finally, if Data Encryption is enabled, the /var/log/te-server directory can accumulate files.
