SLiM log file problem

[Wolven]

xbj9000/Dr.Ninethousand has pointed out that the Slim package does not create a logrotate entry. So each time X loads the log file (/var/log/slim.log) grows - till it reaches 2GB and SLiM becomes non-functional.  Fix here.

If you click on the fix here, it brings you right back to the current posting.  It does not take you to the fix.

Thanks for pointing out the broken link, it must have disappeared in the forum conversion. I can't find the link again, but the solution is to make a log rotation for the SLiM log. Here's how:

Save the code below as /etc/logrotate.d/slim

Code:

/var/log/slim.log {
compress
rotate 1
size=+1024k
notifempty
missingok
copytruncate
noolddir
}

EDIT: I found the link, and I've fixed it.
