Does the configuration option "createolddir" suit your problem?

Hi,
I guess this is more of a wish for upstream, but since I haven't been
able to locate any bug tracker or even website for upstream, I'll report
here.
Currently, logrotate supports the olddir options, for moving rotated
logfiles to a
though I just realized that a script like
for i in /foo/*; do mkdir -p $i/archive; done
would also do the trick, though it is slightly less elegant...
Scratch that... logrotate verifies the olddir directly after reading a config
entry, so long before any scripts are run...

Hi Paul,
Surely when you're creating the conffile fragment for logrotate to use, you
can also make the corresponding olddir directory?
Nope, since I use wildcards:
/data/log/rsyslog/*/*/*.log
{
...
olddir archive
}
Here, the dir structure is like:

Hi Paul,
My suggestion would be that the directory is automatically created only when
the olddir is specified as a directory within the log file's directory (ie.
no slashes), and that it should inherit the ownership and permissions of its
parent directory.
That sounds pretty reasonable.
