Re: Logrotate no longer works..."Too Many Open Files"

The "current" logs were now being written to as named.log.1, messages.1, maillog.1.

But the files weren't recreated, and the postrotate scripts not run.

I looked in my /var/named/chroot/var/log/named dir, and found tons and tons of logs with oddball numberings. I cleared them and will see how that goes.

My named, maillog and messages logs have never rotated on a daily basis,

Are they actually being rotated?  Or are they just being checked?  My
maillog and syslog entries in /etc/logrotate.d don't have any time
designators, so they should go by the default in /etc/logrotate.conf.
In my case, that says "weekly".  Yours should be the same.  But the
logrotate job runs daily.

Logrotate keeps last-rotated dates in /var/lib/logrotate.status.  If you
have the runaway rotation problem (see my other post in this thread),
it's possible that that's corrupted.


And no, it wasn't...my apologies...I usually do better.  I can only note
that my 2 month old was crying as I wrote the second message, and forgot
to trim it down before sending it.

Most logs are rotated weekly, but some are not.  See the individual
specs in /etc/logrotate.d.

Was quoting your *entire* previous message strictly necessary?
