Unhappy Install logrotate
permalink
Hi,

I've installed logrotate from AIX PDSLIB on several systems (AIX 5.1 and AIX 5.3). I've fisrt used binary 5.1 version. After that I've compiled the source version. In both cases, it seems to work well but no rotation is done :
# /usr/local/sbin/logrotate -vf /etc/logrotate.conf
reading config file /etc/logrotate.conf
including /etc/logrotate.d

and I have a return code of 1 :
# echo $?
1

but no other message.

Does anyone know what's going wrong ? A failing file ? An incomplete path ?

Thanks.

We use logrotate and it runs perfectly. Well, the first time, it blows up compressing (gzip) big files. No glue why, but after that it does its job. ;-) Maybe you should post your logrotate.conf to get an idea about the logfiles or other options you use.

Hi riscy,

After several tests, I've found what's going wrong. In logrotate.conf, I use include command which allows logrotate to read also configuration files in a specific directory. But it seems that this include option doesn't work. Do you use it ? I've write a little shell to do the job without include option :

/usr/bin/cat /etc/logrotate.conf > /etc/logrotate.cum
/usr/bin/cat /etc/logrotate.d/* >> /etc/logrotate.cum
/usr/local/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.cum
/usr/bin/rm -fr /etc/logrotate.cum

Thank's for your answer. It made me search in configuration.

Be very, very carefull with the recursive deletion! It is enough to use "rm -f" to delete files only.

Thanks. I've seen my error but it was too late. In fact I use rm -f and not rm -fr.

Hi again,

you have to get the source code and than compile it! I didn't find any binary package for AIX yet, so that's my suggestion.

If you have further questions compiling it, let me know. ;-)
