If you rotate at midnight, as someone where I work decided before I came in, you face the following issues when time changes: 1. When skipping from 00:00 to 01:00, if cron doesn't wake before the clock shift, the log rotation will not occur. 2. When skipping back from 00:00 to 23:00, if cron wakes before the clock shift, the log will be rotated twice. I have seen both issues happen. To avoid both problems, rotate after 01:00 and before 23:00. heers, -- Javier Gostling D. <jgd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
