Thank you. The following is my wtmp config file in the logrotate.d directory. I am still trying to understand it's syntax fully. I think I understand the "maxage" and the "rotate" settings, but what does the "size=+-400k" mean
Hi Dirk
Are you sure it says '=+-400k' and not just '=+400k' - the first is not a valid syntax.
Sorry, you are right - copy & paste error .... Microsoft ? :-o
Also, how often will it rotate in this case - there is no setting like "weekly" in the file. Or is this where the "maxage" setting comes into play ?
It will rotate whenever the file is bigger then 400K. The logrotate process is usually done once per day - check your /etc/cron.daily directory.
Where will I find the old files ?
