Ever growing onedrive.log

[rrodrigueznt]

Hi! I'm struggling to discover what process is writing to an onedrive.log file on my user folder on one of my servers to no avail!

Here are all the running services after systemctl list-units --type=service --state=running:

The output is the same with sudo.

All OneDrive services have their log configuration and are functioning correctly. No other onedrive instances are running manually.

All records in ~/onedrive.log are similar. The last one while preparing this post:

Could you help me find the running OneDrive process that is writing to onedrive.log and trying to authenticate to my account? Thanks!

Try this - as 'root' ... not via sudo ..... (important):

ps -auxfx | grep onedrive

[rrodrigueznt]

Thanks! Same result:

But I think I found the reason: one of the services has a wrong log directory configured. I corrected it, and it seems it stopped recording to my home directory as expected. That server will go down for some hours to maintain the electrical power installation. I will return to it as soon as possible and confirm the correct functioning. Thanks for your help and great work!

[rrodrigueznt]

Confirmed: the ever-growing onedrive.log was caused by a service wrongly configured: its log pointed to a non-existing folder due to a typo. I corrected it, and all services are working without a glitch. Thanks for your help, and sorry for the noise!
