I understood that. What I am saying is that instead of installing the RPM
or finding logrotate on the net, you can use midnight commander (program
name 'mc') to go into the rpm as if it is a directory and manually copy
the files you want. (I am making the assumption that you have a RH cd
somewhere.)
Although if you know bash scripting it is quite trivial to do:
for i in *.1; do
mv -f `echo $i | sed 's/1/3/'` `echo $i | sed 's/1/4/'` # mv *.3->*.4
mv -f `echo $i | sed 's/1/2/'` `echo $i | sed 's/1/3/'` # mv *.2->*.3
mv -f $i `echo $i | sed 's/1/2/'` # mv *.1->*.2
mv -f `echo $i | sed 's/.1//'` $i # mv *->*.1
done
Of course you also have to kill syslogd, run this, and restart it.
