Fajar - logrotate is driven by cron. Cron is one of UNIX (oops,
I mean Linux) very important system utilities.
You need to know know about this, so check the man pages for cron and
crontab to understand not only the timing on logrotate but on how ALL
automated-scheduling of job/utilities are arranged on Linux.
Everything you need to know about how to schedule anything is in
there.
