Hi Lukasz, I moved your question to the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu mailing list to have it exposed to the development community (and to avoid posting to both lists). The answer is likely just to manage this directly via unix with the logrotate command, as you suggest, but let's see if any other feedback is given. If you wanted to add details to your question, please do so on the galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu post now. Thanks! Jen Galaxy team On 9/7/12 6:39 PM, Lukasz Lacinski wrote:

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?
