I have a problem with logrotate not rotating the syslog files Can anyone suggest a reason why?
Take a look at the size of the files, in this case logrotate will not rotate the files until they are over 4194304 bytes in size.
Oh. That would be the reason. Logrotate didn't use to do that. Can I please have my VAX back? I used to understand that. Sorry, we don't make no VAXEN no more :-) But, we still make Open VMS :-)
Log rotation is controlled by the file /etc/logrotate.conf and individual log rotate scripts in /etc/logrotate.d. (such as the one for syslog). You can change the parameters if you wish. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
