I'm just updating my build scripts. For years I have used a simple script to do log rotation, so now I am going to try the logrotate package. Looking at the creation of /etc/logrotate.conf we have the following:
# Don't send mail to anybody nomail I read that comment as "logrotate should not send mail about its operation to anybody", which is not necessarily what I want (although I think I'm going to get a report from fcron). But looking at an online manpage, and the link to techrepublic.com, the command appears to mean "Do not mail old logs (which are about to be deleted) to anybody" and that is proobably what I want. Am I right that the comment is misleading, or have I misunderstood it ? ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
