I believe this will work... I haven't actually tested it though ;-) create a file in logrotate.d called <blah> Its content would look like: /var/log/somedir/*/*log { missingok notifempty sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } HTH, Harry -- Harry Hoffman Integrated Portable Solutions, LLC 877.846.5927 ext 1000 http://www.ip-solutions.net/ Vadim Pushkin wrote:
Hi Nate;
I'd love to use logrotate, but as you can see from my original post, my logs are in a bunch of dirs, mostly created on the fly as new stuff comes in. How do I configure logrotate.conf for this?
Thank you,
.vp

Again, I am looking to rotate my logs, not delete them. Ideally, something like retaining *.logs.1 *.logs.2, etc.
Oh my. They *have* to be called logs, logs.1, logs.2, logs.3... logs.30? :)
Go with what Valdis recommends. If you really have to rotate them, use logrotate. -- Nate
