Java logrotate ignore 'rotate' setting.

the 'rotate' setting in my logrotate configurations is being ignored when run from the crontab.

I have tested my configurations using the "-d" option, the rotation count is working when I do the test.

Here are my configuration settings, is there anything I am doing wrong?

# cat -n /etc/logrotate.conf
Code:
1  # see "man logrotate" for details
     2  # :! /usr/sbin/logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf
     3
     4  # packages drop log rotation information into this directory
     5  include /etc/logrotate.d
     6
     7  # rotate log files weekly
     8  weekly
     9
    10  # keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
    11  rotate 4
    12
    13  # create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
    14  create
    15
    16  # uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
    17  compress
    18
    19  # no packages own wtmp, or btmp -- we'll rotate them here
    20  /var/log/wtmp {
    21      missingok
    22      monthly
    23      create 0664 root utmp
    24      rotate 1
    25  }
    26
    27  /var/log/btmp {
    28      missingok
    29      monthly
    30      create 0664 root utmp
    31      rotate 1
    32  }
    33
    34  # system-specific logs may be configured here

# cat -n /etc/logrotate.d/syslog2
Code:
1  /var/log/local0notices {
     2    missingok
     3    rotate 12
     4    size 50M
     5    compress
     6    delaycompress
     7    notifempty
     8    create 640 root adm
     9    sharedscripts
    10    postrotate
    11       /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    12       /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
    13    endscript
    14  }

get_rotation_matrix(3alleg4)					  Allegro manual				      get_rotation_matrix(3alleg4)

NAME
get_rotation_matrix, get_rotation_matrix_f - Constructs X, Y, Z rotation matrices. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> void get_rotation_matrix(MATRIX *m, fixed x, fixed y, fixed z); void get_rotation_matrix_f(MATRIX_f *m, float x, float y, float z); DESCRIPTION
Constructs a transformation matrix which will rotate points around all three axes by the specified amounts (given in binary, 256 degrees to a circle format). The direction of rotation can simply be found out with the right-hand rule: Point the dumb of your right hand towards the origin along the axis of rotation, and the fingers will curl in the positive direction of rotation. E.g. if you rotate around the y axis, and look at the scene from above, a positive angle will rotate in clockwise direction. SEE ALSO
