Hi all,

my backup's log.

/var/log/backup {
rotate 4
monthly
compress
delaycompress
missingok
notifempty
create 640 root adm
}
I have also restart my system, but my log don't route.
Have you tried it with the -f option, i.e,
logrotate -f /var/log/backup
>from the command line? If that works, it may be that your computer
was simply not switched on at the time logrotate should have been
doing its job.

Help :-(
Sorry, Marco, I wasn't thinking too clearly when I replied.
The filename at the end of the command line must be the name of
the configuration file.
The filename at the top of the configuration file must be the
name of the file to be rotated.
Is your logfile named - exactly - "/var/log/backup"? If so,
logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/backup
should work.
In fact, it's more usual, I think, to put details in the
/etc/logrotate.conf file, leaving the logrotate.d directory for
packages to put their configurations in, but I can't see what
difference it would make.
What seems to have happened is that logrotate looked for the
configuration in your logfile and couldn't to anything with it.
But I don't know what that "razor-agent" is all about. Perhaps
you do...
I hope that works now.
Cheers,
David
I David,
I have try with logrotate -fv /var/log/backup and now work correctly. :-)
Thank you very much for your support!!!
Have a nice day!!!
Bye
Marco
