Dear All. Fedora 16 Beta, fully updated. I checked it: logrotate -v -d /etc/logrotate.d/syslog Output: reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog Handling 1 logs rotating pattern: /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron 1048576 bytes (no old logs will be kept) empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed considering log /var/log/messages log needs rotating considering log /var/log/secure log does not need rotating considering log /var/log/maillog log does not need rotating considering log /var/log/spooler log does not need rotating considering log /var/log/boot.log log does not need rotating considering log /var/log/cron log does not need rotating rotating log /var/log/messages, log->rotateCount is 0 dateext suffix '-20111008' glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' renaming /var/log/messages.1 to /var/log/messages.2 (rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 1), renaming /var/log/messages.0 to /var/log/messages.1 (rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 0), fscreate context set to system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 renaming /var/log/messages to /var/log/messages.1 disposeName will be /var/log/messages.1 running postrotate script running script with arg /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron : " /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true " removing old log /var/log/messages.1 error: error opening /var/log/messages.1: No such file or directory Nothing happened to "messages" - this file was not renamed. 2. "ps -ef | grep log" gives me root 2672 1 0 14:58 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/rsyslogd -n -c 5 But from man page: -c version. ...It must always be the first option on the command line.... -n Avoid auto-backgrounding. This is needed especially if the rsyslogd is started and controlled by init(8) What does mean "5" at the end? Actually logrotate doesn't work, although its output looks promising. Any suggestions.
