Setup logrotate on Linux
I have setup a logrotate for a linux daemon, under /etc/logrotate.d/xxxx. Is that all for setting up a logrotate ? How can I click out a logrotate to test the logrotate at once ? Tks
/var/log/xxxx.log /var/log/yyyy.log {
missingok
notifempty
size 1M
daily
compress
create 0600 root root
}
/var/log/xxxx.log /var/log/yyyy.log {
missingok
notifempty
size 1M
daily
compress
create 0600 root root
}

Yes, I want to verify whether my new created logrotate works or not.
Under /etc/logrotate.d/, do I need to add your_logrotate.conf or just your_logrotate (without .conf) ?
Currently, I'm using the latter one.

You have to use your conf file (/etc/logrotate.d/xxxx) ;-)

Do I need to add extension to the file , ie should the file be rsyncd or rsyncd.conf ?
Tks again.
Tks again.
I suggest you add ".conf"

Try :
logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/lsyncd
cat /var/lib/logrotate.status.
"/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd.lo
"/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd-st
logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/lsyncd
cat /var/lib/logrotate.status.
"/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd.lo
"/var/log/lsyncd/lsyncd-st
