Hi,
Over the past couple of days logrotate has started to compress my logs once
they've been rotated.
I haven't changed my logrotate config in any way recently, and I've checked
the /etc/logrotate.conf file and the "compress" word is commented out.
I checked my syslog dropfile:
# cat /etc/logrotate.d/syslog
/var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/
boot.log /var/log/cron {
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null
|| true
endscript
}
and there's also no place it says to compress.
I'm using SL4.4 and it's happened on a few SL4.4 machines at the same time.
I'm at a loss to work this one out.
Any ideas from anyone what I'm missing?
Michael.
