similar to: regenerating /var/lib/logrotate.status

I have a problem in that at first all my log files were dated 12-31-1969 and logrotate has: # more /var/lib/logrotate.status logrotate state -- version 2 "/var/log/yum.log" 1969-12-31-20:26:1 "/var/named/data/named.run" 1969-12-31-20:26:1 "/var/log/httpd/error_log" 2015-8-27-4:43:1 "/var/log/wtmp" 1969-12-31-20:26:1 "/var/log/chrony/*.log"

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

IN the /var/log/ folder there are two files WTMP and BTMP BTMP is getting huge after a year, about 800MB, WTMP is getting close to 1MB. In the /etc/logrotate.conf I see this -------------------- # no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here /var/log/wtmp { monthly minsize 1M create 0664 root utmp rotate 1 } ------------------- I can see where WTMP will probably rotate

centos6 in regards to /etc/logrotate.d/syslog the file is in charge of processing /var/log/cron /var/log/maillog /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/spooler If I wanted to make a specific setting just for maillog (since that file gets huge really quick) would I add 1- a new file /etc/logrotate.d/maillog with the parameters just like the other files 2- add parameters in the file it is

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've got a Centos 5.4 box that is not rotating it's mail logs. I just found out about this, the file is considerably large. I've included my log rotation configs if anyone has any suggestions i'm open to them. Thanks.

Hi all, I have configured a specific logrotate task to rotate certain logs every hour and everytime this logrotate's task runs, I am receiving an email like this: Auto-Submitted: auto-generated Precedence: bulk X-Cron-Env: <LANG=en_US.UTF-8> X-Cron-Env: <LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8> X-Cron-Env: <XDG_SESSION_ID=4502> X-Cron-Env: <XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0> X-Cron-Env:

Hi, I want to create a new log /var/log/maillog for postfix each day and so i created a new logrotate config for the log and removed it from /etc/logrotate.d/syslog. ~]# cat /etc/logrotate.d/maillog /var/log/maillog { daily rotate 31 start 1 compress create 0600 root postrotate /etc/init.d/postfix reload > /dev/null endscript } After

Hi, Openssh doesn't log failed logins to /var/log/btmp like login does (if btmp exists). This is on RH6.2. Is there a specific reason for not logging to btmp ? I think that logging to btmp would be a 'good thing'(tm). What about other unices ? Do they have /var/log/btmp or something similar (AIX has something like that and I think openssh already logs the failed attempts). AFAIK

a while back i reported an issue where /dev/null was getting set to 600 perms after a system update. i finally figured out what it is. i don't care about failed logins and have limited space on some servers, so i symlinked /var/log/btmp to /dev/null. the initscripts package does a chmod 600 /var/log/btmp, so voila /dev/null gets changed. so now i know why it happened just to me. i now

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

FYI. I have not been able to determine 100% that logrotate does this, but ulogd appears to stop logging whenever logrotate runs. So far, the only obvious commonality that I see is that logrotate ran and that the /var/log/ulogd/ulogd.syslogemu is completely empty until I restart ulogd. I have proven that the logging is broken by manually performing a network operation that Shorewall normally

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

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

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
