i found a crash when umonitor try to read spam log

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000426989 in view_log (filename=0x7fffffff5940 "/sbbs/data/logs/spam.log", title=0x481346 "SPAM Log") at umonitor.c:414
414
read(buffile,buf,j);
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0000000000426989 in view_log (filename=0x7fffffff5940 "/sbbs/data/logs/spam.log", title=0x481346 "SPAM Log") at umonitor.c:414

#2 0x00000000004298dc in main (argc=1, argv=0x7fffffffe108) at
umonitor.c:1108
(gdb)

Then, when i research and verify my config scfg->system->advance->logs,
i'm surprised to see that the value are ../data/
.
I update it to ../data/logs/ but now i have a /sbbs/data/logs/logs/ with
the http log and daily logs here

the sbbs.ini HttpLogFile are empty (as default)

How big is your spam.log file? It might be too big to put on the stack (but I would expect the alloca to fail in that case).

That's the normal/default value.

.
I update it to ../data/logs/ but now i have a /sbbs/data/logs/logs/ with

Yeah, don't do that. Read the online help (F1 in SCFG) for that configuration setting.

Okay.

-rw------- 1 root root 8,3M dic 3 22:21 spam.log

can i put it on logrotate to perform a daily cleanup?

ok i reverted to ../data/
thanks!

Sure. umonitor probably shouldn't be using alloca() to load/read log files, so that also should be fixed.
