Hello all!
I have found a new home, this place is great!
I have been searching for days to find a way to set a max size for a log.txt file using a cron job exicuting a shell script. Is it possible for a script to remove older entries in a log file to maintain a limited file size? If so,... (5 Replies)
Hello,
Can someone please tell me which command to use to determine the size of a file? When I log in to my shell account, I do this
$>% ls -als

Hi All,
We are running HP rp7400 box with hpux 11iv1.
Recently, we changed 3 kernel parameters
a) msgseg from 32560 to 32767
b) msgmnb from 65536 to 65535
c) msgssz from 128 to 256
Then we noticed that all application debug file size increase upto 2GB then it stops. So far we did not... (1 Reply)
Hello All,
I am working on an issue, where I need to check the max file size of a file. If the file size exceeds 2 GB, then I need to generate an error message. Since the file system does not allow a file to be created larger than 2 GB, I am planning to use named pipes & AWK file to acheive my... (6 Replies)

Hi,
I've compiled a 64-bit version of ClamAV 0.98.7 on my Solaris 10 SPARC server. I have a selection of files all containing the eicar signature but clamd is only picking up the signature in the files <2GB.
I have the following set in clamd.conf, to remove file size checking:

mkfs
MKFS(8) System Administration MKFS(8)NAME
mkfs - build a Linux filesystem
SYNOPSIS SYNOPSIS
mkfs [options] [-t type fs-options] device [size]
DESCRIPTION
mkfs is used to build a Linux filesystem on a device, usually a hard disk partition. The device argument is either the device name (e.g.
/dev/hda1, /dev/sdb2), or a regular file that shall contain the filesystem. The size argument is the number of blocks to be used for the
filesystem.
The exit code returned by mkfs is 0 on success and 1 on failure.
In actuality, mkfs is simply a front-end for the various filesystem builders (mkfs.fstype) available under Linux. The filesystem-specific
builder is searched for in a number of directories, like perhaps /sbin, /sbin/fs, /sbin/fs.d, /etc/fs, /etc (the precise list is defined at
compile time but at least contains /sbin and /sbin/fs), and finally in the directories listed in the PATH environment variable. Please see
the filesystem-specific builder manual pages for further details.
OPTIONS -t, --type type
Specify the type of filesystem to be built. If not specified, the default filesystem type (currently ext2) is used.
fs-options
Filesystem-specific options to be passed to the real filesystem builder. Although not guaranteed, the following options are sup-
ported by most filesystem builders.
-V, --verbose
Produce verbose output, including all filesystem-specific commands that are executed. Specifying this option more than once
inhibits execution of any filesystem-specific commands. This is really only useful for testing.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit. (Option -V will display version information only when it is the only parameter, otherwise it
will work as --verbose.)
-h, --help
Display help and exit.
BUGS
All generic options must precede and not be combined with filesystem-specific options. Some filesystem-specific programs do not support
the -V (verbose) option, nor return meaningful exit codes. Also, some filesystem-specific programs do not automatically detect the device
size and require the size parameter to be specified.
