I am having problems with logrotate. The configuration is the following
/var/log/cron
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
/var/log/spooler
/var/log/unused.log
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/daemon.log
{
#Modified by CGSL!
compress
dateext
maxage 90
rotate 100
missingok
notifempty
size +4096k
create 640 root root
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
I am interested in rotating the /var/log/daemon.log, the output of executing
logrotate -fv /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
is
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
reading config info for /var/log/cron
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
/var/log/spooler
/var/log/unused.log
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/daemon.log
Handling 1 logs
rotating pattern: /var/log/cron
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
/var/log/spooler
/var/log/unused.log
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/daemon.log
forced from command line (100 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
