Then, you should do something like the following; changing the promiser to a parent directory and using file_select to match the file name. Haven't test but it should work. :-)
files: "/var/cfengine" file_select => size_exceeds("promise\.log","1M"), depth_search => recurse("1"), rename => rotate("2"); body file_select size_exceeds(filename,filesize) { leaf_name => { "$(filename)" }; search_size => irange("$(filesize)","10M"); file_result => "leaf_name.size"; } Cheers, --Nakarin On Jun 4, 2010, at 9:38 AM, Seva Gluschenko wrote: > Nakarin, > > this way you can only define timed rotation (by means of action => > if_elapsed or by classes), but not size-based rotation.
