I run logrotate
through cron with the script
[alex@leia ~]$ cat /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf >/dev/null
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
/usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with [$EXITVALUE]"
fi
exit 0
which, according to the syslog, should work:
Dec 14 03:21:01 leia run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[3041]: starting logrotate
Dec 14 03:21:01 leia run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[3063]: finished logrotate
I expect this to also run the following directive:
[alex@leia ~]$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/www-data_uwsgi_nginx
/home/www-data/*/logs/*/*log {
rotate 5
size 20M
nocompress
missingok
postrotate
touch /tmp/uwsgi-reload
[ ! -f /var/run/nginx.pid ] || kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/nginx.pid`
endscript
sharedscripts
}
But! It does not rotate the logs under /home/www-data
. Other logs get rotated. If I run logrotate
manually with
[alex@leia ~]$ sudo logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
it does rotate the logs in question.
I saw the related question where the problem was with SELinux, and attempted that solution but it did not help in my case.
Edit: On request, the contents of /etc/logrotate.conf
:
# see "man logrotate" for details
# rotate log files weekly
weekly
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4
# create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create
# use date as a suffix of the rotated file
dateext
# uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
#compress
# RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d
# no packages own wtmp and btmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
monthly
create 0664 root utmp
minsize 1M
rotate 1
}
/var/log/btmp {
missingok
monthly
create 0600 root utmp
rotate 1
}
# system-specific logs may be also be configured here.
