Efficient file size
by nuxguy from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GDPY)
Hi,
I have a script which records an IP address. Every couple of hours Cron starts the job which first appends the IP and then a time stamp to a file simple text file.
A what point, number of lines, MB, etc, would it be more efficient to maybe archive this file and start a new one?
