Hello,
while testing the cuirass service on bayfront, I see the following:
$ ll /var/log/c*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2003521 Feb 28 15:38 /var/log/cuirass.log
I am sure this 2MB file was about 14MB big this morning, and indeed
any information dating from before this morning, when I rebooted the
machine and thus restarted the service, has gone.
Notice also that there are no numbered files cuirass.log.1 etc..

Oh indeed, that’s a different thing.
This is fixed by Shepherd commit
