Can anyone show me how to write a logrotate rule that will rotate on
either size or age?
I use some very simple scripting for yrs but don't really see how to
rotate on more than one condition.
I'd like to rotate a certain log weekly or over 7000k and keep no more
than 12 rotations for whatever reason.
/var/log/debug.log {
create 0600 reader wheel
weekly || size=7000k
rotate 12
postrotate
/etc/init.d/rsyslog reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
}
Is clearly NOT the right way to go.
Any know how to do it?
man logrotate has a few examples that may help. Here is one.
"/var/log/httpd/access.log" /var/log/httpd/error.log {
rotate 5
mail w...@my.org
size 100k
sharedscripts
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP httpd
endscript
}
I notice that the size part is on its own line which may be the issue.
