Logrotate setup+discussion

I don't know anything about logrotate. A quick glance made it look like it's run as a cron job, though, so my guess is you don't have to do anything.

Well, I guess the question is this: is wagn going to throw a fit if production.log suddenly changes while it's running?

prerotate

if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \

run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \

fi; \

endscript

}

 

seems to work quite nicely. My 4G log file is now a 340MB log file and it's already done a second rotation. I don't actually know if the reloading apache part is necessary, but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything.
