similar to: Tinc Log rotation fails

I have recently noticed that my dovecot-deliver.log is huge and wanted to start rotating it. So a couple of questions: 1. Can the dovecot-deliver.log be combined with the maillog, that gets rotated weekly? If it can be done, is it advisable? Since the inception of this particular server, the log file has been located in the /home/vmail directory. Is there a reason it shouldn?t be located in

Hi, I want to be certain that my apache and varnish logfiles are in strict date order when rotated. I'd like to run a sort command against them before they're compressed. I've had a look at the logrotate man page, and it looks like I can use a postrotate/endscript to do this. However, I can see any reference in the documentation for how to operate on the file. All the examples

That doesn?t seem to work either. Where do I find logs for log rotation to see the reason it failed?

Can you try this and adjust the path's in it. #/etc/logrotate.d/samba /var/log/samba/log.smbd { weekly missingok rotate 7 postrotate [ ! -x /usr/bin/smbcontrol ] || [ ! -f /run/samba/smbd.pid ] || /usr/bin/smbcontrol smbd reload-config endscript compress delaycompress notifempty } /var/log/samba/log.nmbd {

So, the question is, why can I rotate the log manually, but cron returns a permission error? Do I need to tell cron to run it as sudo or something like that?

I know about this param, I configured it and log.smbd, log.nmbd and others are rotated, log.samba is not. ----- Original Message ----- > From: "samba" <samba at lists.samba.org> > To: "Lorenzo Milesi" <maxxer at yetopen.it>, "samba" <samba at lists.samba.org> > Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2020 7:29:04 PM > Subject: Re: [Samba] log.samba

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:

? Hi people. ? I had read dovecot logging info, they say something about using log rotation to help us rotate our log, with this setup: # dovecot SIGUSR1: Re-opens the log files. /var/log/dovecot*.log { missingok notifempty delaycompress sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/dovecot/master.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } Well, my

Hi! I have one problem with my logrotate. Samba version: Samba 4 7.7 (compilated) S.O.: Ubuntu 14.04 /16.04 Samba logs file: /opt/samba/var/ Logrotate File: cat /etc/logrotate.d/samba -- /opt/samba/var/log.samba {   rotate 10         daily         compress         dateext         size 100M         nomail         missingok         notifempty         create 644 root root

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 {

I've just updated a few CentOS 5.3 servers to 5.4. One of them were a Apache Webserver. Doing a diff/check on the new ".rpmnew" config files that are made, I saw that the logrotate command for apache was changed. In 5.3 it did a reload, but in 5.4 it does a hard kill: CentOS 5.3: /var/log/httpd/*log { missingok notifempty sharedscripts postrotate

Hai, Check the content of : /etc/logrotate.d/named If you see postrotate /etc/init.d/smbd reload > /dev/null endscript Change that to postrotate if [ -d /run/systemd/system ]; then; systemctl -q is-active named && systemctl reload named; else; /etc/init.d/named reload ; fi'; endscript Its something like that, so who pointing.. That does not matter, because this is OS

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

When logs (e.g. /var/log/maillog) are rotated (e.g. to /var/log/maillog-YYYYMDD) is there a way via systemd or whatever to assign read permission to a specific group? Right now, for example - ls -l maillog* -rw------- 1 root root 3105240 Mar 13 22:04 maillog -rw------- 1 root root 1079031 Feb 24 04:39 maillog-20190224 -rw------- 1 root root 7237640 Mar 1 12:59 maillog-20190228 -rw------- 1

I created some scripts to logrotate. I am having a problem. After I do it, I am sending kill -HUP to the process its not using the newly created messages file again. Could someone help me out with how I can rotate asterisk's log's without killing the process? ..o-------------------------------------------------------o.

The 2.04b rpm for rh60 ships with and installs a config file for logrotate (the samba.log file in the packaging/RedHat section). ===== /var/log/samba/log.nmb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP nmbd endrotate } /var/log/samba/log.smb { postrotate /usr/bin/killall -HUP smbd endrotate } ===== 1) I think that the use of "endrotate" is wrong. There is no

Just a wild guess, but I and others have been having problems with samba_dlz, because of named "reload." Try to see if systemctl reload named and systemctl restart named break and fix the server respectively. (if your're not using systemd, try "serivice named reload", "service named restart instead") If you have a /etc/logrotate.d/named file containing

Hi, We are running sernet samba, and on one particular DC (debian 7.11, samba 4.5.6), when logrotate is ready rotating, "sernet-samba-ad restart" fails with: > Shutting down SAMBA AD services : ...trying once more ...

Hello guys Having headaches here how to make logrotation for dovecot log files work. Having permission issues: michael.heuberger at xxx /e/l/daily ??? sudo logrotate -fv dovecot.daily ? reading config file dovecot.daily Handling 1 logs rotating

2.0.5 (on linux) has a small annoyance in that, when the log files get rotated, kill -HUP won't point the daemons to the new log files. They keeps logging to the old ones until they are stopped/started. Does 2.0.6 fix this?
