fleaplc Posted May 7, 2018 Posted May 7, 2018 I'm a newbie and I cannot solve this issue... by typing tail -f / var/log/mail.log after some hours working the tail is not updating anymore.. to solve I have to: delete mail.log file create new mail.log file chmod a+w /var/log/mail* service syslog restart service postfix restart but again in few hours tail -f stop updating incoming events. Moreover, if I try with tail -f / var/log/syslog or tail -f / var/log/ufw.log the same result Any suggestion is highly appreciated..
lalalolo Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Maybe log rotation ? Have you tried -F instead of -f ?
