Virtual TapeServer 8.3 Configuration Guide

Managing the VTS Server | 161
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:
l rmoldpipes
l rmoldbylist
l rmoldsync
l 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.
