Memory leak #19

Open rifuso opened 5 years ago

rifuso commented 5 years ago

I don't know if this project is maintained anymore, but fyi for anybody considering installing it, the colortail process was using 1306 MB of memory on my server before it had to be terminated.

For me memory leak coincides with log file being rotated while colortail is tailing it.

Even copytruncate in logrotate config does not help.

Only thing that helps is -SIGHUP colortail right after the rotation.

Otherwise it eats all the memory .
