[Dxspider-support] Temp Files..

[Howard Leadmon]

   Now that I sent this to the wrong list to start with, let's try again 
to the right place..   Oops..


  Probably a Dirk question, but it seems that DXspider uses a never 
ending temp file, or I see no sign of rotation, and as it's a temp name 
it's not simple to just add it to a rotate script.

  I get notifications from my system ever so often that /var is getting 
low, and when I look I find a file in /var/spool/dma that is loaded with 
logging from the spider node.   A quick ls shows me this thing gets big..

I tend to go in and stop the node, and get rid of the file, but I had 
having to boot everyone to make sure I have a truncated but usable temp 
file for the node to work with.   Are there any suggestions, or 
procedures for taking care of this so the drive doesn't run low, and 
spider can hum along nicely for months without incident??
