Hi.. I have a FC1 Linux box act as a syslog server to

/home/ct/aufolognew below are my content of
/etc/logrotate.conf and /etc/logrotate.d/syslog and i
found that after I do a (linux)#logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/syslog


the log will gone and the doesn't rotates daily. Can
anyone guide me on this


more /etc/logrotate.conf # see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
#weekly


# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
#rotate 4

# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
#create

# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress

# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this
directory
include /etc/logrotate.d

# no packages own wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
 }

/home/ct/aufolognew {
    create 0777 root utmp
    rotate 30
    daily
    postrotate
    /sbin/killall -HUP syslogd
    endscript
}

[root@watcher ct]# more  /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
/home/ct/aufolognew /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron {
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    endscript
}

Why have you got two entries for rotation of /home/ct/aufolognew? One in /etc/logrotate.conf specifically for that file and another in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog to handle all syslog files.
