You can certainly do that, but if you want more control over when the
script runs, it needs to be separate. With the configuration we have,
everything in cron.daily will run at 04:02 in the local time zone.
I agree with you Bruce, we should keep flexibility and keep control
over something as rotating logs.
The proposal to link logrotate to cron.daily seems not a good one to me
(as sysadmin).
Well how does one lose control over log rotation by using cron.daily?
All jobs in cron.daily are run at the same time. This may, or may not
be an issue for you.
They way I suggested it, you simply drop the file into cron.daily
and your down to fiddling around with fcrontab
If you are using a package manager then nothing is required after
installing the package.
In my case I am using rpm.
Your distro, your rules.
As an aside, I had to reformat your message in my reply as it wasn't
very readable. It was sent html only. See if you can also have it send
in text mode.
