how can i minimize producing them or recycle them? do i need to keep them all?

Thanks

[madunix]

any help in this issue??

Looks like on later versions we rotate the zmmailboxd.out error log a bit / keep only 10 - I have none older than the 16th/17th on multiple boxes.

You can run a rm -f zmmailboxd.out.* (or cron it if you really want).

[madunix]

is it safe to rm them?

[veronica]

Thats what mike wrote in post. follow what he wrote.

[madunix]

Thanks ... Done

Unfortunately, that's only a temporary solution and log files will continue to grow up. Log pruning seems incorrect.

What is the result of

crontab -l

(run it under zimbra user)

Paste only lines that are under the 'Log pruning' section.

Could add something like:

30 2 * * * find /opt/zimbra/log/ -type f -name stacktrace.\* -mtime +8 -exec rm {} \; > /dev/null 2>&1
30 2 * * * find /opt/zimbra/log/ -type f -name zmmailboxd.out.\* -mtime +8 -exec rm {} \; > /dev/null 2>&1

What else can I keep be it under cleansing process (75% used /opt/zimbra)?
