Hi
I am having some trouble understanding why logrotate does not rotate my
files.

I have the following customization for httpd
/var/log/httpd/*log /var/log/httpd/*/*log
/opt/WebSphere/DeploymentManager/logs/http_plugin.log {
    daily
    rotate 5
    missingok
    notifempty
    size=1024M
    sharedscripts
    copytruncate
}

and the following in the main conf file for 

weekly
rotate 4
create
compress

I understand that the custom configs will override any default settings
in the main config.

Logrotate does not rotate my lofiles on a daily basis, it does work on
size though.

I have run logrotate -d <conf file> which confirms that it does not
think a file needs rotating... I am not sure I understand the exact
sematics of how daily works and how it determines it is the next day...

The logrotate status file has some very old entries in though again I am
not sure what these entries tell or not tell me.
eg
"error_log" 2008-7-27

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Best Regards
