similar to: logrotate - size and daily options

Have u tried removing the 'weekly' directive? You might consider replacing size with maxsize (details below) maxsize size Log files are rotated when they grow bigger than size bytes even before the additionally specified time interval (daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly). The related size option is similar except that it is mutually exclusive with the time interval options, and it causes

Hi guys, Logrotate is checked every day by cron.daily, right? I notice in logrotate.conf by default it's weekly. If I change it into monthly (now, on 12 of Feb), when will it do the monthly rotation? a. On 12 of March or b. On 1st of March? Thanks for any insight.

Anyone having problems with logrotate and CentOS 5.4? Although I have /etc/logrotate.d/mail (contents below) to rotate my maillog file, it fails to do it automatically: /var/log/maillog { compress dateext maxage 365 rotate 60 size=+1024k missingok postrotate /etc/init.d/MailScanner restart endscript } ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ logrotate.conf:

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

Hey guys, Got a quick question and I hope this is an easy one! In my /etc/logrotate.conf file I have the following entry: # rotate all of the apache logs -- we'll rotate them here /var/log/mysqld.log { weekly size 50M create 0644 mysql mysql rotate 1 } And from that I would expect the log to rotate when it reaches 50M in size. However I just caught that log weighing

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

I've been taking a look at how RedHat (and CentOS) handles logrotate. According to the man page, logrotate is supposed to be fired by cron. But when I look at root's crontab $ sudo crontab lu root no crontab for root What exactly fires logrotate (and other scheduled events like "logwatch", which ends up in root's inbox)? === Al

Has anyone successfully configured logrotate using the size in kilobytes?? I have broken this thing down as far as I can. - I setup a test server - I am running logrotate manually I noticed while running it in debug mode: rotating pattern: "/pathtologs/log/*.log" 1048576 bytes (5 rotations) empty log files are rotated, only log files >= 5120 bytes are rotated, old logs are removed

Hi all: logrotate is broken on my stock 4.1 install. After hunting and hunting I found there is a bug filed with Redhat on the issue. logrotate fails becasue my /tmp partition is mounted noexec. I understand it is that way for security reasons. The box in question is on a dedicated hosting site and that's the way it was handed off to me, built. Some said setting TMPDIR=/var/tmp;export

Quick logrotate question for the group. To comply with a PHB mandate, I need to keep our apache logs for a minimum of 2 years, and will be periodically required to hand over chunks of the logs from specific dates/times. While extending the timeframe of logrotate is easy, I've found that there's no elegant solution in the RH/CentOS logrotate for appending dates to the filename. I'm
