Operating Systems Linux Red Hat error running postrotate script Post 302410484 by maverick_here on Tuesday 6th of April 2010 06:30:03 AM

Generally you may configure system-specific logs in /etc/logrotate.conf

However it is always good to have a service file in /etc/logrotate.d

For the sake of clarity

The binary responsible for log rotation is

/usr/sbin/logrotate

It takes /etc/logrotate.conf

which has a

include /etc/logrotate.d
directive ;which is by default enabled.It would be more sensible to have a service based file in /etc/logrotate.d
