What's your recommended alternative to the newsyslog style of external logfile rotation? I'm not much of a sysadmin but it might be useful to know at some point. Thanks in advance!
The one that people came up with in the 1990s. There are quite a number of implementations to choose from. The shame of this hitting ASUS in 2023 is that this is a long-known problem and a long-since solved one. I have vague memories of grumpy posts on Usenet about this. It's that old a problem; and it has been solved for nigh on a quarter of a century.
Awesome, thanks! I am in fact guilty of using logrotate but thankfully I haven't been burned yet. Although perhaps with the advent of containers piping logs to streams I've unknowingly absolved myself.
Also, you have an amazing website. Looking forward to reading more.
