RE: logrotate stopped working ?

Thanks Ian,

It gave me:

error: error accessing /var/log/squid: No such file or directory
error: squid:4 glob failed for /var/log/squid/*.log
Exit 1

I found out I had a 'squid' file in logrotate.d directoty. Silly me !

Thanks a lot for your help !

Actually, there should be an entry in cron.daily:
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate

Mine looks like this:
--------------- begin 755 /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
#!/bin/sh

test -x /usr/sbin/logrotate || exit 0
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf
--------------- end 755 /etc/cron.daily/logrotate

More likely, tho, you've got something foobar'd in /etc/logrotate.conf
-- try running the logrotate command from /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
manually and see what happens.

HTH,
