Hi!
Suppose, there is a machine which writes two kinds of log files through syslogd:
quickly-growing that need to be rotated based on their size (hourly is too
seldom)
and other that should be rotated once a day, at midnight only.
For first kind of logs we have to run newsyslog once every 5 minutes using cron:
*/5 * * * * root newsyslog
For second kind of logs we have lines in newsyslog.conf such as following:
/var/log/mpd.log 640 16 * @T0000 JC
This must ensure that /var/log/mpd.log is rotated and compressed at midnigt
only.
Note, that compressing the file takes 8 minutes.
However, every night at 00:05 I get an error:
bzip2: I/O or other error, bailing out. Possible reason follows.
bzip2: No such file or directory
Input file = /var/log/mpd.log.0, output file = /var/log/mpd.log.0.bz2
newsyslog: `bzip2 -f /var/log/mpd.log.0' terminated with a non-zero status (1)
It seems, newsyslog still wants to process my file at 00:05 despite @T0000
time specification. Is it broken?
