logrotate httpd logfiles
Hi,
I need to logrotate logs in directories in /var/log/httpd/. There are 4 directories in /var/log/httpd/... these directories are /var/log/httpd/access/
/var/log/httpd/debug/
/var/log/httpd/error/
/var/log/httpd/required/
Each of the access, required, error and debug directories have around 20 to 30 access log files of different locations for example:mumbai-access.log, pune-access.log etc..same is the case for 'error' dir 'required' dir and 'debug' dir in /var/log/httpd/
I need to clean up the logfiles in all the 4 directories access, error, debug and required...
I have made a custom logrotate file as follows:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Code:
# vi /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-logs
/var/log/httpd/access/*.monitor.com-access_log 
{
weekly
missingok
nocreate
postrotate
find /var/log/httpd/access -name '*.monitor.com-access_log' -type f -mtime +7 -print | xargs /bin/rm -rf
endscript 
}
/var/log/httpd/error/*.monitor.com-error_log
{
weekly
missingok
nocreate
postrotate
find /var/log/httpd/error -name '*.monitor.com-error_log' -type f -mtime +7 -print | xargs /bin/rm -rf
endscript 
}
/var/log/httpd/request/*.monitor.com-ssl_request_log
{
weekly
missingok
nocreate
postrotate
find /var/log/httpd/request -name '*.monitor.com-ssl_request_log' -type f -mtime +7 -print | xargs /bin/rm -rf
endscript 
}
/var/log/httpd/debug/*.monitor.com-rw_log
{
weekly
notifempty
missingok
compress
}

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is the above config correct?
Am I missing something? Will this logrotate the files in /var/log/httpd/access, /var/log/httpd/error, /var/log/httpd/required and /var/log/httpd/error ?
do i need to include following line in postrotate " /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true" ?

apacheconf

apacheconf(1)						       Apache configuration						     apacheconf(1)

NAME

       apacheconf - Apache configuration utility

SYNTAX

       apacheconf

DESCRIPTION

       This  is  a  new  graphical  tool  to configure the common web server Apache in an easy and simple way. It supports the basic configuration
       options and even allows to set up multiple virtual hosts.

OPTIONS

       None

FILES

       /usr/bin/apacheconf
       /usr/share/apacheconf/*
       /etc/alchemist/switchboard/apache.switchboard.adl
       /etc/alchemist/namespace/apache/local.adl

SEE ALSO

       httpd(8)

BUGS

       Not all possible checks for correct values are done yet.

       The current /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file is NOT parsed, so changing the configuration with apacheconf will overwrite any manual  changes
       to  the	httpd.conf  file or the changes done with apacheconf are discarded. In case of overwriting the manually editied file a backup file
       will be generated.
