If its just the size of the file that's a problem can you possibly just quota the log file's size?
Manage Log File size on Ubuntu<http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-manage-log-file-size-archive-deletion.html>is one writeup which gives a lot of detail on how to use LogRotate.
I think this is the Man page for LogRotate<http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/logrotate8.html> .
If you are just trying to figure out how to reduce the number of messages the above won't help.

Hello,
After installing X2go I see my auth.log is growing. I see this:
May 25 06:53:22 server sudo: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot server May 25 06:53:22 server su[17628]: Successful su for postgres by root May 25 06:53:22 server su[17628]: + ??? root:postgres May 25 06:53:22 server su[17628]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user postgres by (uid=0) May 25 06:53:22 server su[17628]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for user postgres May 25 06:53:23 server CRON[16311]: pam_unix(cron:session): session closed for user root May 25 06:53:28 server sudo: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/ ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/x2gopgwrapper listsessionsroot server (...)
I did a "/etc/init.d/x2goserver stop" and that helps. And I can still login on the X2go server!
I see it is checking the database, but I don't understand why exactly. Is it really necessary to do this every 5 seconds?
echo "select agent_pid, session_id, display, server, status,
to_char(init_time,'DD.MM.YY*HH24:MI:SS'),cookie,client,gr_port,
sound_port,to_char(last_time,'DD.MM.YY*HH24:MI:SS'),uname,
to_char(now()-init_time,'SSSS'),fs_port from sessions
where server='$2' order by status desc;"|psql -t x2go_sessions ;;I saw you can change the sleep-time (5 seconds) in this script: /usr/sbin/x2gocleansessions but I am not sure this is a good idea...
With regards. Paul van der Vlis.
have you already found a solution to this??? I experience the same issue tried to look for a sudo hack to silence log file output but was not successful...
No sorry, I have not found a solution.
I think it would be easy to run x2gocleansessions as root to avoid the auth.log mess-up, but maybe there is a better way.
Met vriendelijke groet, Paul van der Vlis.
