The default is 4 saved versions. Logrotate is run by cron, with the script in /etc/cron.daily and the config files are /etc/logrotate.conf and in /etc/logrotate.d. The default options have always worked for me on both workstations and servers. Maybe you need to reinstall or make your config files match the defaults and see if it will work out of the box before you tailor it. > renaming /var/log/messages.7 to /var/log/messages.8 (rotatecount 7, logstart 1, i 7), > renaming /var/log/messages.6 to /var/log/messages.7 (rotatecount 7, logstart 1, i 6), > renaming /var/log/messages.5 to /var/log/messages.6 (rotatecount 7, logstart 1, i 5), > renaming /var/log/messages.4 to /var/log/messages.5 (rotatecount 7, logstart 1, i 4), > renaming /var/log/messages.3 to /var/log/messages.4 (rotatecount 7, logstart 1, i 3), > renaming /var/log/messages.2 to /var/log/messages.3 (rotatecount 7, logstart 1, i 2), > renaming /var/log/messages.1 to /var/log/messages.2 (rotatecount 7, logstart 1, i 1), > renaming /var/log/messages.0 to /var/log/messages.1 (rotatecount 7, logstart 1, i 0), > renaming /var/log/messages to /var/log/messages.1 > creating new log mode = 0600 uid = 0 gid = 0 > removing old log /var/log/messages.8 > > None of the above actually took place.
