- Replace `lzop` with `xz` in log compression cron jobs on DSpace Test—it uses less space:

```
# cd /home/dspacetest.cgiar.org/log
# ls -lh dspace.log.2015-11-18*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 2.0M Nov 18 23:59 dspace.log.2015-11-18
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 387K Nov 18 23:59 dspace.log.2015-11-18.lzo
-rw-rw-r-- 1 tomcat7 tomcat7 169K Nov 18 23:59 dspace.log.2015-11-18.xz
```

- I had used lrzip once, but it needs more memory and is harder to use as it requires the lrztar wrapper
- Need to remember to go check if everything is ok in a few days and then change CGSpace
