Category: None Group: None Status: Deleted Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Luigi Rosa (lrosa) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: logrotate config file Initial Comment: During the install procedure you could create the logrotate script in this way: IF exists /etc/logrotate.d IF NOT exists /etc/logrotate.d/mailman Create /etc/logrotate.d/mailman FI FI The /etc/logrotate.d/mailman file could be something like this: # Logrotate file for Mailman 2.0.x $HOME/log/digest { monthly } $HOME/log/error { monthly } $HOME/log/post { weekly } $HOME/log/smtp { weekly } $HOME/log/subscribe { monthly } $HOME/log/vette { monthly } Of course, instead of $HOME you should place the installation path of Mailman ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jim Popovitch (jimpop) Date: 2007-04-06 21:28 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=3142 Originator: NO Reopening. Mailman needs to have different log file names in order to work _properly_ with logrotate. A proper Logrotate conf file for Mailman needs a postrotate command in order to restart Mailman after log files have been rotated.
