No since not all people are able to reply on messages and breaks threads continously, the CC is filtered too in the mdk-expert-en-folder, ;) > But I'll remember not to do that anymore :-) > Fine thanks ;) > > And I'm in no way a crack, but maybe a 'logger "LOGROTATE: I was here !" > > ' or something like that in /etc/logrotate.d/syslog would be helpfull for > > debugging.

Logrotate dtermines when a week is passed, thats the Job of Cron. Don't know if cron/at are bundled in a way. In cron works time based, so AFAIK it misses Jobs if the computer is down. at works asynchron , so jobs will be done in any way. But all this should work without thinkin a lot about it. At least you have learned something about a usefull program of your linux-package ;) Greets Steffen
