on my RHEL 5 I have /etc/logrotate.conf # rotate log files daily daily # keep 24 days worth of backlogs rotate 24 At what time of the day does the new log file get created? Do all log files defined in /etc/syslog.conf get rotated based on the above logrotate.conf entry? In my /etc/syslog.conf I have # Save all logs to /DATA1/logs/syslog *.* /DATA1/logs/syslog Does logrotate also work on user specified log files like the one I've specified to /DATA1 above? Does a service need to be restarted once logrotate is edited? Thanks.
