Thank you for all your suggestions guys. I think I'll use the logrotate route since I'm concerned with the accounting file only.
Cheers. ________________________________________ From: Reuti <re...@staff.uni-marburg.de> Sent: Friday, May 18, 2018 8:42 AM To: Noel Benitez Cc: users@gridengine.org Subject: Re: [gridengine users] SGE accounting file getting too big... > Am 18.05.2018 um 17:23 schrieb Noel Benitez <nbeni...@salk.edu>: > > Hi guys, > > The "accounting" file on our sge master has a filesize of 20Gb. > > Is there a recommended way of purging this file short of using "cat /dev/null > > accounting" ? Yes: : > accounting Jokes aside, you can either use logrotate or the supplied script: $SGE_ROOT/logchecker.sh Usually I copy it to /usr/sge/default/common/ to make my changes and then use cron jobs on the nodes and the qmaster. qmaster: $ cat /etc/cron.d/gridengine # # Special cron-job to reduce the size of the SGE messages/accounting files. # 5 1 * * 0 sgeadmin /usr/sge/default/common/logchecker.sh -action_on 1 nodes: $ cat /etc/cron.d/gridware 5 1 * * 0 sgeadmin /usr/sge/default/common/logchecker.sh -action_on 2 -execd_spool /var/spool/sge The default in the script itself I set to: UNCONFIGURED=no ACTION_ON=2 ACTIONSIZE=1024 KEEPOLD=3 Note: to read old accouting files in `qacct` on-the-fly you can use: $ qacct -o reuti -f <(zcat /usr/sge/default/common/accounting.1.gz) -- Reuti > > Thanks for any help. > > > > > > -Noel Benitez, Salk iT Dept. > > > > _______________________________________________ > users mailing list > users@gridengine.org > https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@gridengine.org https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
