Hi all,
I'm running logrotate on my homeserver and the logs are rotated
correctly but after rotating it should create new empty log files and
that doesnt work.
here are my confs:
/etc/logrotate.conf:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-admin/logrotate/files/logrotate.conf,v

# Logrotate default configuration file for Gentoo Linux
#
# See "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
#daily
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 10
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
compress
# packages can drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
notifempty
nomail
noolddir
# no packages own lastlog or wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
rotate 1
}
# system-specific logs may be also be configured here.
and /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng:
# $Header:
/var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/app-admin/syslog-ng/files/syslog-ng.logrotate,v

/var/log/messages {
dateext
olddir /var/log/
copy
create 0600 root root
size 5000k
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
}
I thought create will do this but it doesn't work and my logs getting
bigger and bigger.
What did I do wron?
Regards
Jakob
