Hi list,

using the macros $MONTH, $WEEK and $DAY it is possible to rotate the logfiles. The rotated files are written to the defined working directory.

Question: Is it possible to define another directory for these rotated logs ??

The working directory should contain the current logfiles only.

Not really, as including time related macros in the destination file name is not really "rotation", it is simply generating destination file names according to the macros in the name. You can implement something similar with a script, e.g. find /var/log -mtime 1 -exec mv '{}' /var/log/archive \; -- Bazsi
