Hi all,
How can I make sure that my weekly logrotation occurs on Sunday
morning?
You'll need to change your crontab.
First though, I assume this means you don't want you logs to be rotated dailty as is the default when you emerge logrotate. The dafault is that the /etc/cron.daily/logrotate.cron script is run daily, which rotates your logs.
If that is not what you want, then you'll need to do two things. First, disable the "daily" logrotation:
chmod -x /etc/cron.daily/logrotate.cron
Second, add a new line to your crontab instructing your system to only run the rotation on Sunday mornings (in my example, at 6am).
crontab -e
Add this line:
0 6 * * sun /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
For more infomation take a look at the crontab man page ("man crontab")thanks Chris
Your welcome.
