Re: logrotate preremove script not working - 2nd pair of eyes ?

logrotate calls

sh -c "script content" xxx log-file-name

where script content is literal text between preremove'/endscript. So it ends up calling /usr/local/bin/archive_logfile.sh without parameters. You need

preremove /usr/local/bin/archive_logfile.sh $1 endscript

Thanks!!!! that did the trick. It had never occured to me that the _contents_ between preremove and endscript would be called like that. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
