<div class="PlainText">Hi all -<br>
<br>
I recently setup logrotate according to the helpful blurb in the tech-<br>
docs[1], which has been great for our disk usage but seems to have<br>
introduced a change in the log file's `file` type. <br>
<br>
Before logrotate, we had <br>
<br>
<br>
$ file archivesspace.out <br>
aspace-log.out: ASCII text, with very long lines<br>
<br>
and now with logrotate in play, we have<br>
<br>
$ file as-log.out<br>
as-log.out: data<br>
<br>
which causes all sorts of trouble if I want to do anything other than<br>
tail a log :). <br>
<br>
I guess I was hoping someone may a suggestion or two about how to<br>
approach this, either from the logrotate side or perhaps using another<br>
utility to either modify the `file` metadata or parse the binary format<br>
to something greppable?<br>
<br>
Thanks for any advice you can share. My searching hasn't panned out.<br>
Best,<br>
Bridger<br>
