Re: [ts-7000] stopping logging daemons to reduce SD flash wear

[Clark Dunson <>]

You and I must be on the same page somewhere Don!  I am at this point also.

The man page for syslogd (found online) seems to suggest that the /etc/syslog.conf 

file is the place to do it.  I was considering keeping the default file around for trouble-

shooting mode, but then trying to make an operational file with much cut down rules.

Looking for a recommended one.

If all parts of syslogd and sysklogd can be killed, I'm up for learning how, as /var/log sits

at 11 megs typically on my system.  I do know that it is important to turn off the --MARK--

functionality, which can apparently be done in the syslog.conf file.  For some reason that

ETCH image we are using has it turned on.

I am using a Debian SD image on a TS-7260. I have turned off the bootlogd script in /etc/rcS.d and the klogd, and sysklogd scripts in /etc/rc2.d. However, the following logs in /var/log continue to update:

daemon.log
dmesg
faillog
messages
syslog
user.log
wtmp

I want to minimize the amount of writes done to preserve the SD card for long-duration unsupervised operation. Can someone tell me how to keep these logs from being written to?

Thanks,
Don
