Hello All,

OS: SLES 11.3 x86_64

Should I be using the sharedscripts config command for my logrotate configuration, given the info below?

I made it so the server sending the log data will do Syslog pushes of 3 types of logs to my SLES server, and all 3 logs will be written into the same directory.

These log files are called:

Code:

/opt/host1/logs/host1_access.log
/opt/host1/logs/host1_amp.log
/opt/host1/logs/host1_trafmon.log

I then have the following configured for Logrotate for those 3 logs, see below...

Logrotate Configuration File: /etc/logrotate.d/host1_logs

Code:

/opt/host1/logs/host1*.log {
    daily
    rotate 7
    missingok
    compress
    compresscmd /usr/bin/gzip
    delaycompress
    dateext
#   ??sharedscripts??
    postrotate
        /etc/init.d/syslog reload > /dev/null
    endscript
}

I was a little bit confused whether or not I needed to have the sharedscripts command in there or not for my given configuration.

Would I want this to execute only once since it's rotating 3 log files (*sharedscripts) or have it run each time one of those 3 log files are rotated (*nosharedscripts)?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in Advance,
Matt
