1. DXSpider does not (intentionally) write to anywhere out of the

2. A swift search suggests that /var/spool/dma is a FreeBSDism.<br>
3. What's in it?<br>
4. What are you running on?<br>

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.<br>
<br>
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..<br>

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??<br>
