Logrotate configuration.

Hi,

After logrotate 2.5 installation, which configuration file need to be updated if for example i need syslog.log to rotate 14 versions and mail.log to keep 7 versions etc.

Waiting for your favourable reply.

Regards

Re: Logrotate configuration.

hi,

Please see:
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/117

Normally, the configuration file is /etc/logrotate.conf and the configuration directory - /etc/logrotate.d

Configuration that you will need:
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log {
weekly
missingok
rotate 14
...
}


hope this helps!
kind regards
