AW: CSWlogrotate configuration

[Dvorak Andreas]

Hi Ben,

I have created a cron entry and it is working
* 2-4 * * * /opt/csw/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf

If I execute /opt/csw/sbin/logrotate without the config file I get this
/opt/csw/sbin/logrotate
logrotate 3.8.3 - Copyright (C) 1995-2001 Red Hat, Inc.
This may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU Public License

Usage: logrotate [-dfv?] [-d|--debug] [-f|--force] [-m|--mail=command]
        [-s|--state=statefile] [-v|--verbose] [-?|--help] [--usage]
        [OPTION...] <configfile>

ls -l /etc/opt/csw/logrotate.conf
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          25 Feb  2 09:00 /etc/opt/csw/logrotate.conf

Does that mean that there is a bug?

Best regards
Andreas

If CSWlogrotate is looking for config in /etc/logrotate.conf, that's a bug. The config file should be in /etc/opt/csw/. Please file a bug against the package if you determine this is what's happening.

Thanks

Dear all

The logrotate does not rotate. Can you please help me?

I have installed the package CSWlogrotate 3.8.3,REV=2012.11.14
I don’t find the logrotate.conf, so  I have to create an own file /etc/logrotate.conf.

My file /etc/logrotate.conf:
include /etc/logrotate.d

cat /etc/logrotate.d/puppet
/var/log/puppet/agent.log{
  daily
  missingok
  rotate 14
  compress
  delaycompress
  notifempty
  copytruncate
}

Running logrotate tells the the file /var/log/puppet/agent.log needs rotating but it does not do it.
/opt/csw/sbin/logrotate -dfv /etc/logrotate.conf
reading config file /etc/logrotate.conf
including /etc/logrotate.d
reading config file puppet

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /var/log/puppet/agent.log forced from command line (14 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
