Re: How do I change which logfiles are rotated when?



Look in /etc/cron.daily/ and /etc/cron.weekly/ for the invocation
of syslogd-listfiles, and the rotation frequency.

Hi,
    The logfile rotation stuff makes use of syslogd-listfiles, which
claims in its man page to be controlled by /etc/syslog.conf
Unfortunately, I can't find anything in man syslog.conf, or the file
itself that mentions what it is about an entry in /etc/syslog.conf
that flags it as requiring a certain frequency of rotation.

Thanks,
Robert.
