I also use a logrotate script: '/etc/logrotate.d/galaxy'
/path/to/galaxy/install/*.log { weekly rotate 52 copytruncate }
The 'compress' options seems like it might be nice, and I'm not sure of the effect of size 1. I don't think the 'create 640 galaxy-user galaxy-group' has an effect when the copytruncate option is used. For the same reason, I don't think the missingok option is needed either.
This might be a nice thing to add to the wiki at: "http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Config/Performance/Production%20Server".

Dear All,
I use an init script that comes with Galaxy in the contrib/ subdirectory to start Galaxy. The log file
--log-file /home/galaxy/galaxy.log
specified in the script grows really quickly. How to logrotate the file?
Hi Lukasz,
I'd suggest using whatever log rotation utility is provided by your OS. You'll need to restart the Galaxy process to begin writing to the new log once the old one has been rotated.
Hi Nate,
When Galaxy is started again, it fails because it cannot bind a socket to port 8080, that is already bound by child Galaxy processes orphaned by the former Galaxy process.
When Galaxy forks to run tools, a child process does not close open files/sockets that the child process does not need.
Thanks, Lukasz
I am not sure about multiple galaxy process install, but I think a logrotate configuration with copytruncate option should work fine. For example,
{{{ /apps/galaxy/galaxy-latest/paster.log { missingok rotate 10 copytruncate # logrotate script should be called by a cron job and hence daily/weekly settings are not added to conf file. # 'size 1' setting ensures that log file will be rotated whenevr it is called by the cron unless size< 1 byte size 1 compress create 640 galaxy-user galaxy-group }}}
