1 Can anyone show me how to write a logrotate rule that will rotate on
2 either size or age?
3
4 I use some very simple scripting for yrs but don't really see how to
5 rotate on more than one condition.
6
7 I'd like to rotate a certain log weekly or over 7000k and keep no more
8 than 12 rotations for whatever reason.
9
10 /var/log/debug.log {
11 create 0600 reader wheel
12 weekly || size=7000k
13 rotate 12
14 postrotate
15 /etc/init.d/rsyslog reload > /dev/null 2>&1 || true
16 endscript
17 }
18
19 Is clearly NOT the right way to go.

21 Any know how to do it?
