Recent install is not rotating logs. "rc-update" shows cronie and |
| 2 |
"sysklogd" at "default" level. Directory /etc/logrotate.d contains... |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
elog-save-summary hibernate-script openrc rsyncd |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I assume that I have to create configs for various files in /var/log |
| 7 |
Reading "man logrotate", and adapting for sysklogd and bzip2 I get the |
| 8 |
following for /var/log/messages. I intend to rotate whenever the file |
| 9 |
hits 3 megabytes. Does it look OK? Do I have to set up /etc/crontab? |
