logrotate for Debian -------------------- Note that logrotate may not be the only log rotation program on a Debian system. If sysklogd is installed, as was the case in older versions of Debian, it uses its own log rotation scripts which can be found in /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd and /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd Current installs use rsyslog, which does not perform its own log rotation, but makes use of logrotate. ~~ Logrotate prerotate/postrotate/firstaction/lastaction scripts are currently executed by giving the whole script to "sh -c" thus: execl("/bin/sh", "sh", "-c", script, "sh", logfn, NULL); This might change in future versions. -- Paul Martin Mon, 05 Dec 2011 17:38:47 +0000
