[arm-allstar] memory issue

[Ken]

We had one of our hamvoip units go into a semi-nonfunctional mode this week
- discovered during our weekly net.

 

I suspect it was related to the fact that the file system partitions allow
for 53M of files in /var/log/ and we had the /var/log/asterisk/messages file
grow to something larger than 50M.  Perhaps something else was going on, but
no way to tell now.  This is with a release dated the end of May.

 

Since the allocated space for "messages" is limited and the size of the
"messages" file is (apparently) unlimited, there is an inherent potential
for a problem.  

 

I think one solution could be a "logrotate" function that limits the total
storage that can be consumed by this log file.

 

We have updated to the latest release Asterisk
1.4.23-pre.hamvoip-V1.5.3-36-app_rpt-0.327-07/15/2018
