 |
|
I just noticed that my logrotate hasn't been rotating some of the files configured in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog since some time in April. Here's the logrotate config:
| Code: | cat /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
/var/log/auth.log /var/log/daemon.log /var/log/debug /var/log/emerge.log /var/log/faillog /var/log/kdm.log /var/log/kern.log /var/log/messages /var/log/syslog /var/log/user.log {
sharedscripts
rotate 5
weekly
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd #
endscript
}
|
I'm assuming this is the result of some update, though I don't know which one. I'm running sysklog. I just noticed that some others are not rotating. Of the files listed in that config only daemon.log, faillog, and syslog are rotating regularly. Any idea what's wrong there?

Ahhh...got it. That config entry had kdm.log which is now in another config causing a duplicate. This caused the files after it to be skipped.
