fleaplc Posted May 7, 2018 Share 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalalolo Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Maybe log rotation ? Have you tried -F instead of -f ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
