Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Logs not rotated Post 303027234 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 12th of December 2018 04:52:39 AM

I suppose you could run this as root and see what happens. Try with the debug/trace turned on:-
Code:
bash -x /etc/cron.daily/logrotate

What is in /etc/cron.daily/logrotate? It may be working as designed, but there are no rules being activated.

It will probably be something trivial, but infuriating. I've had 'fun' with them myself.



Kind regards,
Robin
