I have created a policy to rotate catalina.out of tomcat, my cron service is running and I can even check the log to verify the jobs but I am not getting the desired output. Here is my code
/etc/logrotate.d/tomcat
/opt/tomcat7/logs/catalina.out {
copytruncate
rotate 7
compress
missingok
size 1k
}
/etc/crontab
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/
# For details see man 4 crontabs
# Example of job definition:
# .---------------- minute (0 - 59)
# | .------------- hour (0 - 23)
# | | .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
# | | | .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
# | | | | .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat
# | | | | |

I can clearly see the job is executed every minute and it should rotate catalina file but it is not doing that, if I run the command /usr/sbin/logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.conf manually it does the job.
