Hi Karel
Yes, I only signed up yesterday.
I agree with your previous post - I will do as you have done and run
analogue first and then do the rollovers in logrotate.conf. Will let you
know how I get on tomorrow.

Maybe I am missing something...I understand that within logrotate.conf
you can schedule daily, weekly, monthly, but I thought (somewhere in the
docs) that cron checks its files every minute by default and cron.daily
was checked every day. Therefore putting analogue in this part would
execute it every day, followed by rollovers as specified in .conf! You
obviously don't have this so I am definitly missing something...

I am probably worrying over nothing... How have you specified 4am as a
time to run? As cron is running every minute I was under the impression
all logs would rotate at 00:01:00?
I am Linux-adolescent myself, but as I get past each stage I always make
a point of helping someone else on these discussion groups where I can.
Feel free to mail me about linux stuff in general - it helps me learn too.
Best regards, Brian
