Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Cron is indeed installed and started. I had a logrotate script in cron.daily.
When i ran logrotate -d -f logrotate.conf first it failed to complete
with an error having to do with ftp, corrected that, reran it, this
time it completed successfully but the major file had not rotated. The
script claimed rotation of the maillog* files replacing 5 with 4, but
the large maillog file didn't go away.
Thanks.
Dave.
