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 at watcher ct]# more /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
/home/ct/aufolognew /var/log/messages /var/log/secure
