Ever since a recent power failure I have been getting a Logrotate error. My machine is on a UPS -- it shutdown cleanly, but I suspect that its BIOS/RTC battery is dead, since the machine came up thinking it was 1982 :-(. I reset the clock and everything is fine, *except* I had to delete Logrotate's state files (which had bad dates). But now Logrotate is raising the error: error: error

Howdy list, Hey does anyone know what the best cron job is to call logrotate to run the squid logrotations? -Or the subscribe address for a squid or logrotate mailing list (can't seem to find anything other than the usual MARC archives). I have this in /etc/logrotate.conf # rotate log files daily, they get too big otherwise, another story. daily # keep 8 weeks worth of backlogs e.g. 60

Hey guys, I'm trying to rotate a logstash log that can grow pretty large. 3.4GB last I saw! And that's because the logrotate script I came up with didn't work. The error I get on a syntax check is this: #logrotate -f logstash size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size: '100M': No such file size:

I have one system that went totally crazy on me. It went into an infinite loop rotating * message and log files. From the asterisk console I kept seeing the message about re-loading logger.conf over and over and it just kept creating more and more files.

Thank you.

HI, Do you have selinux activated? Maybe the context for logrotate does not allow accessing files under /home, and the root cli is not troubled by such a limitation? Why are you storing log files under /home anyway? Note: I don't use any OS with selinux, so can't really help with fixing this an issue.

Well, I tried the same but it didn't work. Setting my dovecot.log to 600 with root:root is breaking my mail system. I am then unable to receive and open emails. Had to apply an ugly hack /var/log/dovecot*.log { su syslog syslog create 666 syslog syslog rotate 10 ... } Like that anyone who wants to access/write to it, can do it and all works. That's my

Hi, Your crontab should normally mail you error output. But you can also run the logrotate command manually, in verbose mode.
