You can manually run
and it tells what it would do - without doing anything.
I tried that. Concerning the auth.log it says:
But that was yesterday when I set off the logrotate command manually.
The problem appears to be the test for -d /run/systemd/system. If the directory exists the script exits right away. (See my original post.)
I don't understand how it could detect the system timer by checking for the existence of that directory.

The machine doesn't run 24/7. So unless I perform a test right after renaming the directory (which one?) it will be recreated as 'system' after a reboot. (I just rebooted and checked.)

SYSTEMD-JOURNALD.SERVICE(8) systemd-journald.service SYSTEMD-JOURNALD.SERVICE(8)NAME
systemd-journald.service, systemd-journald.socket, systemd-journald - Journal service
SYNOPSIS
systemd-journald.service
systemd-journald.socket
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-journald
DESCRIPTION
systemd-journald is a system service that collects and stores logging data. It creates and maintains structured, indexed journals based on
logging information that is received from the kernel, from user processes via the libc syslog(3) call, from STDOUT/STDERR of system
services or via its native API. It will implicitly collect numerous meta data fields for each log messages in a secure and unfakeable way.
See systemd.journal-fields(7) for more information about the collected meta data.
Log data collected by the journal is primarily text-based but can also include binary data where necessary. All objects stored in the
journal can be up to 2^64-1 bytes in size.
By default, the journal stores log data in /run/log/journal/. Since /run/ is volatile, log data is lost at reboot. To make the data
persistent, it is sufficient to create /var/log/journal/ where systemd-journald will then store the data.
systemd-journald will forward all received log messages to the AF_UNIXSOCK_DGRAM socket /run/systemd/journal/syslog, if it exists, which
may be used by Unix syslog daemons to process the data further.
See journald.conf(5) for information about the configuration of this service.
SIGNALS
SIGUSR1
Request that journal data from /run/ is flushed to /var/ in order to make it persistent (if this is enabled). This must be used after
/var/ is mounted, as otherwise log data from /run is never flushed to /var regardless of the configuration.
SIGUSR2
Request immediate rotation of the journal files.
KERNEL COMMAND LINE
A few configuration parameters from journald.conf may be overridden on the kernel command line:
systemd.journald.forward_to_syslog=, systemd.journald.forward_to_kmsg=, systemd.journald.forward_to_console=
Enables/disables forwarding of collected log messages to syslog, the kernel log buffer or the system console.
See journald.conf(5) for information about these settings.
ACCESS CONTROL
Journal files are, by default, owned and readable by the "systemd-journal" system group but are not writable. Adding a user to this group
thus enables her/him to read the journal files.
By default, each logged in user will get her/his own set of journal files in /var/log/journal/. These files will not be owned by the user,
however, in order to avoid that the user can write to them directly. Instead, file system ACLs are used to ensure the user gets read access
only.
Additional users and groups may be granted access to journal files via file system access control lists (ACL). Distributions and
administrators may choose to grant read access to all members of the "wheel" and "adm" system groups with a command such as the following:
# setfacl -Rnm g:wheel:rx,d:g:wheel:rx,g:adm:rx,d:g:adm:rx /var/log/journal/
Note that this command will update the ACLs both for existing journal files and for future journal files created in the /var/log/journal/
directory.
FILES
/etc/systemd/journald.conf
Configure systemd-journald behaviour. See journald.conf(5).
/run/log/journal/machine-id/*.journal, /run/log/journal/machine-id/*.journal~, /var/log/journal/machine-id/*.journal,
/var/log/journal/machine-id/*.journal~
systemd-journald writes entries to files in /run/log/journal/machine-id/ or /var/log/journal/machine-id/ with the ".journal" suffix. If
the daemon is stopped uncleanly, or if the files are found to be corrupted, they are renamed using the ".journal~" suffix, and
systemd-journald starts writing to a new file. /run is used when /var/log/journal is not available, or when Storage=volatile is set in
the journald.conf(5) configuration file.
