Cronjob logrotate not executing
Im trying to make a logrotate execute daily. So far, i tried putting it inside the cron.daily:
/usr/sbin/logrotate -s /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status /etc/logrotate.conf
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
/usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with [$EXITVALUE]"
fi
exit 0And my logrotate.conf contains:
/var/lib/mysql/queries.log
size 1k
copytruncate
rotate 4
When i try to execute logrotate -f /etc/logrotatetest.conf, it works. but the daily cron does not execute. So i creating an SH file containing the above code then executed by cronjob: * * * * * /home/rotate.sh 2>/home/rotate.log 1>&2 i did * * * * * for testing but it does not work.
rotate.sh contains: logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf
I dont know why it isn't executed by cronjob :(
PS. The log file, SH File, and the logrotate.conf has a '777' access rights.
