I think you need 'cp /dev/null $logFile' instead of 'cat'.Nope, that does not work. Neither does 'echo "" > $logFile".
The problem is not with the log rotation script AFAICT.
logSize=$(stat -c%s $logFile);
if [ $logSize -ge 5000 ]; then
cp $logFile $logFile.arch
cat /dev/null >$logFile
The standard convention in shell scripting is to have your variables in
uppercase.
It certainly is not! Some use the convention of having _exported_
variables in upper case, but even that is far from universal.
It's kind of hard to read when you try to use Pascal/Java
conventions in a bash script.
I don't see anything hard to read.
