Hi
in 4.5.22
i notice change in log file :
it Wes: freeswitch.log.1 and now: freeswitch.log



is that the correct line to put in cron daily?:

find /var/log/freeswitch/freeswitch.log.* -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;

If you are using the packaged install of FreeSWITCH (most do), then yes that is correct.
Otherwise use find /usr/local/freeswitch/log/freeswitch.log.* -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;

Hi Adrian
Thanks for your replay

i was using this
but i notice that after upgrade I make to 4.5.22 the log file start to grow
and the crone doesn’t do the work –
i check the log file path and the name of the file change to : freeswitch.log it was freeswitch.log.* (1.2.3,4)

I update the line to : find /var/log/freeswitch/freeswitch.log -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \;

When I run the cron manual ./ still didn’t delete the file

Your original find command was correct you SHOULD NOT be removing freeswitch.log

freeswitch.log is the current log file that FreeSWITCH is writing to. files that end in 1, 2, 3 etc are the rotated logs that the find using freeswitch.log.* deletes.

If you do not see any files called freeswitch.log.1 freeswithc.log.2 (3, 4, 5) etc. then your log has not rotated since the last time files were deleted. There could be many reasons for this but it could be that your log file has not yet grown large enough. The default install sets the log rotate size to 10485760. Check the current size of your log and then see what is specified in /etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/logfile.conf.xml
