Hi,
I have my logrotate configured but it does not work propertly.
Let me explain:
mail # ls -lsah
total 20M
4,0K drw------- 2 root root 4,0K ago 13 03:10 .
4,0K drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4,0K ago 13 03:10 ..
15M -rw------- 1 root root 15M ago 13 12:38 mail.log
2,4M -rw------- 1 root root 2,4M ago 13 03:10 mail.log.1.gz
336K -rw------- 1 root root 331K ago 12 03:10 mail.log.2.gz
2,4M -rw------- 1 root root 2,4M ago 12 00:02 mail.log.3.gz
364K -rw------- 1 root root 360K ago 11 03:10 mail.log.4.gz
Seems it worked for days 11 12 and 13, but then, it keeps just one file
and increases its size till I delete it, or I run logrotate by hand:
afrodita mail # /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
afrodita mail # ls -lsah
total 5,9M
4,0K drw------- 2 root root 4,0K ago 13 12:40 .
4,0K drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4,0K ago 13 12:40 ..
4,0K -rw------- 1 root root 2,0K ago 13 12:40 mail.log
936K -rw------- 1 root root 932K ago 13 12:40 mail.log.1.gz
2,4M -rw------- 1 root root 2,4M ago 13 03:10 mail.log.2.gz
336K -rw------- 1 root root 331K ago 12 03:10 mail.log.3.gz
2,4M -rw------- 1 root root 2,4M ago 12 00:02 mail.log.4.gz
I have logrotate in crontab:
# crontab -l
[...]
2 0 * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
and this is its conf:
In logrotate.conf:
include /etc/logrotate.d
and there
# cat /etc/logrotate.d/mail
# Apache2 logrotate snipet for Gentoo Linux
# Contributes by Chuck Short
#
/var/log/mail/*log {
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
size 5M
postrotate
/etc/init.d/postfix reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
}
Things get worst in apache logs:
182M -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 182M ago 13 12:37 blog_log_access_common
# cat /etc/logrotate.d/apache2
# Apache2 logrotate snipet for Gentoo Linux
# Contributes by Chuck Short
#
/var/log/apache2/*log {
daily
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
endscript
}
182 MB daily? I'm not a google server!
TIA,
