problems with logrotate 2005-06-01 - By Bill Tangren
Back
Since installing RHEL ES4, logrotate doesn't seem to work at all. It
emails me when it is invoked, and the output indicates that it worked,
but it doesn't. I can't figure out what is wrong, or even how to proceed
to figure it out.
This is how logrotate is invoked:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/logrotate -dvf /etc/logrotate.conf
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
/usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with
[$EXITVALUE]"
fi
exit 0
[I added the 'f' option to see if I could force it to work. It won't.]
This is what is part of my logrotate.conf:
/home/httpd/logs/error_log /home/httpd/logs/access_log
/home/httpd/logs/AsA_access_log /home/httpd/logs/AsA_error_log
/var/log/httpd/*log {
missingok
monthly
rotate 14
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2>
/dev/null || true
endscript
}
(sorry about the word wrap in this email. this isn't a problem in the
conf file itself).
When it is run, this is the output (abbreviated):

The output indicates that the rotation took place, but it didn't:

I am having the same problems with the system logs. Any ideas on what
might be the problem?
TIA,
