similar to: logrotate and httpd logs

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

Hello, next week I'll install logrotate on a centos 4.4 server via yum. The man page says that the default mail command is /bin/mail -s, but there is no such binary on Centos. I do have mutt installed, however, so I would like to use it. Ideally, I would like to have logrotate send logs with mutt as attachments like this: mutt me at home.account -a compressed_log_file -s "here are

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

Hi all, I have a problem with logrotate and I don't know why. In /var/log/messages appears these errors: Apr 8 15:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1] Apr 8 16:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1] Apr 8 17:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1] Apr 8 18:01:01 plzfnsm02 logrotate: ALERT exited abnormally with [1] Apr 8

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

Hi Y'all, We have nginx set up and we are having problems with logrotate. The permissions and users do not seem to be any different from other machines that are working ok however the /var/log/nginx does have a directory in there that we are using to collect some special log stuff. Could this subdirectory be interfering with the logrotate process? ta Andrew [root@ ~]# logrotate -d

At first you had just log.rpcd_spoolss, and at first logrotate run it rotated it to log.rpcd_spoolss.1, - now you have 2 files

I am trying to use logrotate to rotate our web logs for our various vhosted sites to cut down on space and rotate out old logs that are not necessary to keep around personally. What Im curious to find out, is how supported extended regular expressions is within the logrotate.conf file. More specifically, will logrotate be smart enough to decipher the following:

Hi! I have one problem with my logrotate.

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

I got the fail2ban from epel. There were a number of issues relating to using a log file... logwatch was looking for both fail2ban and fail2ban.log logrotate file fail2ban added looked for fail2ban.log and then reset itself to syslog fail2ban itself went to syslog, over riding its fail2ban.log. took a while, but I use /var/log/fail2ban now, that finally worked through logrotates and logwatch.

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

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:

Hello i am running samba 4.16 as AD-DC controller on Ubuntu 20.04 using www.corpit.ru/mjt/packages/samba focal/samba-4.16 repository everything is running fine but i have few log files in /var/log/samba/ are not handl by /etc/logrotate.d/samba log.samba-dcerpcd log.rpcd_classic log.rpcd_winreg log.samba-bgqd log.rpcd_spoolss i guess those files size will not grow more than max log

It?s interesting in your world, where ?broken? is ?functions exactly as it is documented to work? If you want it to match subdirectories then you should add to the logrotate, or add another one yourself for each subdirectory. It?s not hard, and it?s certainly not broken. It does what you tell it to do. On Sep 24, 2015, at 6:33 AM, Andrew Holway <andrew.holway at gmail.com> wrote: > Hmm,
