...r I am not asking the right way or I just can't see what's in front of me (sorry)... We have log files called app.2011-10-119.log (with the date changing every day). The log is created by the application each day at midnight. I have logrotate set to rotate files ending in .log at 4am, with copytruncate on by default. If I list the files I see all the old app.2011-10-<X>.log files with a 0 file size. If I turn off copytruncate, the current days log file will be removed everyday at 4am. How can I satisfy both the need to remove yesterday's log file while keeping the current day? Here...

I can't to a head on the testdata file. A hexdump reveals some strange errors which I believe is the cause of the problems, why...

It can be used when some program cannot be told to close its logfile and thus might continue writing (appending) to the previous log file forever. Note that there...

Hi there This is weird. On my latest Ubuntu server Dovecot seems to write to /var/log/dovecot.log.1 instead of a recently created /var/log/dovecot.log Here my logrotate config for Dovecot: /var/log/dovecot.log { ??????? su root syslog ??????? rotate 7 ??????? missingok ??????? copytruncate ??????? create 666 root syslog ??????? sharedscripts ??????? postrotate ??????????? doveadm log reopen ??????? endscript } Doveadm should reopen it but no, still writes to old log file. Not sure, maybe it's someone else, not dovecot, writing to the log file? And here the versions: #...

Hello, Is it possible to get daily access logs (creates a new ?access log file? every 24 hours)? Best Regards, Rick -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/attachments/20121001/7b0f7ff4/attachment.htm

OK, maybe not even best practices, but at least, tested practices. >From my reading thus far, it is evident I shouldn''t use Rails to handle mongrel log rotation. Fine, I''m sold on that. The advice I''m seeing says that that one should use an external script to do this. So my question is, what are people using? What''s working well? Simple bash scripts or

Hi, We recently migrated the samba-ad-dc from 4.6.5 to 4.7.1. Over a period of last 15 days or so we have been observing that although the samba log rotates, upon rotation, samba will start writing the logs to both the main log file and the <main log>.old file simultaneously. While, the main log file rotates properly, instead of deleting old file and create a new one on rotation, samba

Hi! I have one problem with my logrotate.

...ing logs. Even if the release notes of 2.0.6 say the issue is solved, this is not the case for my systems: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zips the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. I think you could put a note about the "copytruncate" directive as a comment in the samba.log (logrotate config file) file, so that if someone has problems he can quickly see one possible solution. The "copytruncate" option didn't exist in old logrotate versions. === 5) wins-hook fires for group names <00> and <1E>...

Hi everyone again. I run tinc with the following command: /usr/sbin/tincd -d1 --logfile=/var/log/tinc.log That creates the file "/var/log/tinc.log" correctly and reports into it. Well, because I want to have a log file by day, I have created a logrotate file (/etc/logrotate.d/tinc) that contains the following lines: ----------------------------------------- /var/log/tinc.log {

Hi all, I just released Samba 2.0.7pre2, available from : ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha/samba-2.0.7pre2.tar.gz This is the second snapshot of the code that should become the official Samba 2.0.7 and is feature complete (ie. I'm only going to accept bug fixes, not more features). This is *not* production code, but should work well as a file and print server, and contains fixes for all

...28.el6. I see "virt-manager startup" entries going all the way back to the first time I started it. So, it looks like some arrangement with logrotate is in order. Does a running virt-manager have any facility for telling it to close and reopen its log file, or do I have to use the "copytruncate" function of logrotate? -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address. Do NOT delete it.
