Hi Fajar, re logrotate and crontab: I was speaking from instinct
knowing that crontab and a simple script to do the actual
rotation is all that is needed. What I didn't expect was that
someone had actually reinvented all the functionality of crontab
to create a totally new utility that is much more limited than
crontab.
Unfortunately, logrotate is, as implied by your earlier post, a totally
separate tool when all that was needed was a small script invoked by
cron. My apologies for my earlier post.
Also my apologies to you on behalf of the Linux community for
the perpetration of such waste and bloat.
Sadly, that trend is rising, not fading.
Ironically Windows is currently trying to reduce the footprint of
their basic package so it will fit better on netbooks. Perhaps
we can follow in their footsteps. :-)
