i sent this once, and didn't see a reply, i have some
followup info to the original message.
I changed /etc/logrotate.conf :
/var/log/radacct/ras-ca/detail {
size=10000k
create 0664 root adm
rotate 10
postrotate
/etc/init.d/radiusd restart
endscript
}
which should limit rotations of that particular file
to when it gets to 10MB. i did this on Sept 12 as
noted by the date/time stamp on /etc/logrotate.conf
it did not have any effect:
backup-wa:/var/log/radacct/ras-ca# ls -l
total 12
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 0 Sep 15 06:38 detail
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 3963 Sep 14 21:05 detail.0
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 697 Sep 14 01:50 detail.1.gz
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 1356 Sep 12 20:45 detail.2.gz
as you can see .......its been rotated at least 3 times
since i made the change. anyone have an idea on how to
get this working? or if all else fails how to get logrotate
to just ignore those logs totally and i can rotate them
manually? it really screws up my ability to generate stats
if the files are rotated so often!! argh.
thanks

I'm tryin to get logrotate to not rotate my radius logs until
they are about 10MB in size. in /etc/logrotate.conf i HAD
this:
/var/log/radacct/* {
size=10000k
create 0664 root adm
rotate 10
postrotate
/etc/init.d/radiusd restart
endscript
}
i read in the logrotate manpage that this would work
but clearly it was not. lograte still
rotates the logs at least once a day(the logs are about
50kb or so per day).
now i have
/var/log/radacct/systemname/detail {
size=10000k
create 0664 root adm
rotate 10
postrotate
/etc/init.d/radiusd restart
endscript
}
for each of my currently monitored systems. i fear this
won't work either. maybe it will ? any insight?
running debian 2.2r3
thanks!
nate
