Hi,

I am using logrotate utility on gentoo to compress catalina.out file. when i run it using debug mode, I get

Well, you are running in debug mode. From the logrotate man page:

-d Turns on debug mode and implies -v. In debug mode, no changes
will be made to the logs or to the logrotate state file.

That means the error message is completely OK. Logrotate will start to
do it's work once you remove the "-d" option. If you want to monitor
it's progress, just stay with "-v".

Doing the job WRONG fourteen times gives you job security.

Hi ulf

In the script I should have it as

/usr/sbin/logrotate -v /usr/local/bin/scripts/logrotate-tomcat-sms-catalina.conf
*
instead of

/usr/sbin/logrotate /usr/local/bin/scripts/logrotate-tomcat-sms-catalina.conf


My Bash script is as below

#cat /usr/local/bin/scripts/call-logrotate-tomcat-sms-catalina

#!/bin/bash

/usr/sbin/logrotate /usr/local/bin/scripts/logrotate-tomcat-sms-catalina.conf > /tmp/log 2>&1


if [[ $? -eq 0 ]] ;then
echo "Successful." | /usr/bin/nail -n -s "[CRON] host0086 compress tomcat-sms catalina.log - success" kaushal@example.com,ravik@example.com,umang@exampl e.com

else
echo "Problems." | /usr/bin/nail -n -s "[CRON] host0086 compress tomcat-sms catalina.log - problems" kaushal@example.com,ravik@example.com,umang@exampl e.com

fi

Please let me know if I am doing wrong

Thanks and Regards

Kaushal
