What is the logrotate config you have tried? [...] |I am not sure if logrotate can handle filenames like Mon.*.log. It can. Just be sure to anchor the glob. For example, using "/var/log/samba/smb*" is really bad because the first rotated file (smb_foo.1) will match as well. The above anchor with "*.log" prevents "<...>log.1" from matching. -D -- A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him down a path that is not good. Proverbs 16:29 http://dman.ddts.net/~dman/
