[Cialug] HELP! Postfix not logging

[Jon Clemons]

Geesh:) Ok, for Redhat. Use script syntax below make new file in 
/etc/logrotate.d/ called httpd or domain whatever

/web/apache/www/logs/*log {
    missingok
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP `cat /web/apache/www/logs/httpd.pid 2>/dev/null` 2> 
/dev/null || true
    endscript
}

And one for 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
}

True, but I'd have to read up on logrotate for how to do it first. That is, 
unless someone wants to post a crash course here.. I WOULD like to know how 
to rotate my apache logs for multiple domains (access.log.*, error.log.*)

It takes longer to rotate them once by hand then it does to set it up for
logrotate to do it for you:)

I SHOULD, but I just haven't had time to... (I do use logrotate for
everything else)

Silly question, but do you have logrotate on your system? You can have
it, er, rotate your logs for you.
