-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hi, i've built and installed LOGROTATE v3.7.4-7 from src tarball, extracted via rpm2cpio from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/source/SRPMS/logrotate-3.7.4-7.src.rpm my lograte.conf includes: ==================================== compresscmd /usr/bin/gzip uncompresscmd /usr/bin/gunzip /var/log/test.log { size 3M daily maxage 30 rotate 30 create 640 devuser devgrp dateext missingok notifempty sharedscripts postrotate kill -HUP `cat /var/process/exim/exim.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript nomail nocompress } ==================================== currently, test.log is > 3M in size: % ls -al /var/log/test.log -rw-r----- 1 devuser devgrp 22782552 Oct 16 10:20 test.log my GOAL, with the above conf, is to exec logrotate hourly, via a cronjob and have it rotate test.log 'only' once daily, UNLESS the log files has exceeded 3M, then rotate immediately ... but, when i exec logrotate, i get: "empty log files are not rotated, only log files >= 3145728 bytes are rotated, old logs are removed. considering log /var/log/test.log. log does not need rotating" and, test.log is NOT rotated. what am i config'ing wrong here? or, is this, perhaps, a bug? thanks, richard - -- /"\ \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign X against HTML email, vCards / \ & micro$oft attachments [GPG] OpenMacNews at gmail dot com fingerprint: 50C9 1C46 2F8F DE42 2EDB D460 95F7 DDBD 3671 08C6 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAkUzxuYACgkQlffdvTZxCMZYJgCeIb6ca8hI7idBvKu9bjzGxH2Y xN8An1ZuLXPFQ8cQPB2FIVoXLr/pOAuf =XQfD -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
