Logrotate ne se lance pas

Support Debian
#1

Bonjour,

voici mon problème résumé dans le titre : logrotate ne se lance pas.

Je suis en sid à jour (18-11-13), et j’ai remarqué il y a quelques jours que les fichiers
/var/log/syslog et /var/log/messages notamment faisaient 200Mo et qu’ils
n’avaient jamais subi de rotation depuis l’installation du poste (fev 2013)

j’ai logrotate d’installé, avec la config par défaut (pour syslog par exemple c’est tous les jours normalement)

si je le lance à la main
([mono]#logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf[/mono]) ,
ça fonctionne, mais sinon il ne se lance pas tout seul

j’ai vérifié que le fichier [mono]/etc/cron.daily/logrotate[/mono] était présent, toujours dans la configuration par défaut.
crontab me dit que la les fichiers cron.daily doivent etre lancés à 6h25 tous les jours
Comme c’est mon poste de chez moi, il n’est pas allumé en permanence et rarement à 6h25…

d’où mes questions

  • est-ce que logrotate est lancé automatiquement au démarrage du système?
  • est-ce normal que sur ce poste il ne soit jamais lancé automatiquement?

en bonus, voici une copie du résultat de

[code]# logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.conf

où on voit par exemple qu’il y a pas mal de log qui “needs rotating”.

Je passe surement à coté d’un truc, mais quoi?

#2

Vu que ton poste n’est pas allumé en permanence installe le paquet anacron, il sert justement à lancer les cron qui auraient du être exécutés depuis ton dernier shutdown.

#3

ah, bonne idée!
je ne sais pas comment j’ai fait mais j’étais pas tombé dessus lors de mes recherches.
il n’est effectivement pas installé, mais c’est chose faite.

C’est en /etc/logrotate.d/service que tu pourras influer sur la rotation de ces derniers. :wink:

oui oui j’avais vu, c’est même dans /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog que ça se passe,
d’ailleurs logrotate fonctionne bien si on le lance à la main.

Là j’ai installé anacron et j’attends demain pour voir si il va faire son boulot.

Pour tous les serveurs/services. :wink:

Bonsoir,

effectivement, tout s’est bien passé, et au démarrage d’aujourd’hui,
je constate qu’effectivement logrotate s’est lancé et a fonctionné
(et certainement tous les autres services prévus par cron)

Donc anacron a bien fait son boulot,

merci de votre aide
