Hi.. I have a FC1 Linux box act as a syslog server to
collect log from Router. The log is store on the file
/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.
Paul.
