 |
|
| Is there a way to have logrotate write a 2-digit suffix to rotated files instead of 1-digit? I keep 30 rotated logs so 1-9 are out of order. |

Use "logrotate start X", or a postrotate script, or a date suffix, or patch the logrotate source.

Would 'start 00' in logrotate.conf accomplish this?

postrotate is only allowed inside a log file definition which is too much of a hassle.
I like this idea. I just added dateext and dateyesterday to logrotate.conf. I had previously decided not to do this so that webalizer would know where to look for yesterday's log file, but $(date --date=yesterday +%Y%m%d) took care of that.

Over my head.  |
