Hi

The Koha rabbitmq server worker-output.log error messages re frames filled my server's hard drive so I had to restart rabbitmq-server and truncate worker-output.log to free up 4.8GB of disk space. It also shutdown apache2 and mysqld and postfix had write errors.

This was research from:

https://lists.koha-community.org/pipermail/koha-bugs/2023-June/564887.html [Koha-bugs] [Bug 34070] background_jobs_worker.pl floods logs when not connecting

https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=34070 background_jobs_worker.pl floods logs when it gets error frames 

I used:

ncdu /

to find where the files were huge that were filling my server's drive.
