Hello Folks: I call a local script from... /etc/logrotate.d/apache ...in Debian 3.0 to run Analog reports. It is supposed to run once a week, but it runs every day: /var/log/apache/*.log { weekly missingok rotate 52 compress delaycompress notifempty create 640 root adm sharedscripts postrotate /etc/init.d/apache reload > /dev/null endscript # -- added by ward 28Jul02 prerotate /etc/run_weekly_analog_reports.sh endscript # -- end ward } My tiny mind thinks a "prerotate" block should only be executed "weekly" once it has been decided to perform a rotation. Not every time cron/logrotate peeks into this "apache" file. What as I missing? (I have fixed the problem by checking the day of the week in my local reporting script, but I'd still like to understand my disconnect with Perfect Understanding of the One True Way(tm).)
