Package: cacti
Version: 0.8.7i-3
/etc/cron.d/cacti:
MAILTO=root
*/5 * * * * www-data php /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php >/dev/null
2>/var/log/cacti/poller-error.log
This means that poller-error.log is being overwritten every 5mins rather
than appended to.
Personally I'd find it helpful to add a dependency on "moreutils" and
then use "/usr/bin/ts" such that the log is timestamped:
MAILTO=root
*/5 * * * * www-data php /usr/share/cacti/site/poller.php 2>&1
>/dev/null | /usr/bin/ts >> /var/log/cacti/poller-error.log
Many thanks,
Adrian
