However, at 10 o'clock the log should have been rotated because of size: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 24801986 Aug 5 10:02 domain.tld-access.log but as you can see, it was not. My question is how can I make sure the logs are rotated when they grow too large AND they are also rotated at a specified point in time (start of a new month). I am reading man newsyslog.conf and it says: If the when field contains an asterisk (`*'), log rotation will solely depend on the contents of the size field. To me it seems to say that when it is not an asterisk (i.e. when I enter a date), the log rotation is not based solely on size factor, which in other words should mean it is also based on time? Any help would be very much appreciated! Thank you in advance! -- Zbigniew Szalbot www.LCWords.com --------------ms090306090805030809070405 Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7s" Content-Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature MIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAqCAMIACAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAQAAoIIJEzCC AuQwggJNoAMCAQICEAyBd42m+1vuDvN/hUJqaFYwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQAwYjELMAkGA1UE BhMCWkExJTAjBgNVBAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMT I1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJzb25hbCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBMB4XDTA4MDcxMDE2MzQ1N1oX DTA5MDcxMDE2MzQ1N1owRzEfMB0GA1UEAxMWVGhhd3RlIEZyZWVtYWlsIE1lbWJlcjEkMCIG CSqGSIb3DQEJARYVei5zemFsYm90QGxjd29yZHMuY29tMIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOC AQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA3q8svX1Uu1uCIl7OSVv57fsjHv82NaIKQwGGfOAmJPYVw7LpMmKgfHPV mHukGBhIw1PLLoBjsdqZ3mJoa+mCXPkU+2i2KQcBmoB6Kchx5wO1XyoHtxk6VfiORYSpxfsM vrzuGlLG7Wei6tuT8Ak8jkxgTz/7oqsxLuQ7tK77QObig0AZvrmpBh04mOkZrq/S54HyKlW2 hdKRYuQgMjqHHtBejMhNR9Qn0nyoV6VtzjpzLrrKpHlGGEPorBjqgOt7yms//YAnf+MmALSu qIxHKo2sb8AXDOJ7Wte5CAl0CSxurS8/cgF8dQwJTRzCczY2z6xlha+30awO9w41kfU+OQID AQABozIwMDAgBgNVHREEGTAXgRV6LnN6YWxib3RAbGN3b3Jkcy5jb20wDAYDVR0TAQH/BAIw ADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFAAOBgQCMOMkqWK44EEHfLZs5f5nHtYtN18QjnjB3htWaFWx/l5Vk IZTCQhIHq2Yopo+W4YvnzawnEksNoAENCY240071ZPVF+FDnBi7ZEtOK7OSyXrQDuZLguriX BQ+30oXWXohJhA2rGXtUaSPSkGIZRHCjaxGv6ino/JwCJS8yoxPSLjCCAuQwggJNoAMCAQIC EAyBd42m+1vuDvN/hUJqaFYwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQAwYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExJTAjBgNV BAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJz b25hbCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBMB4XDTA4MDcxMDE2MzQ1N1oXDTA5MDcxMDE2MzQ1 N1owRzEfMB0GA1UEAxMWVGhhd3RlIEZyZWVtYWlsIE1lbWJlcjEkMCIGCSqGSIb3DQEJARYV ei5zemFsYm90QGxjd29yZHMuY29tMIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEA 3q8svX1Uu1uCIl7OSVv57fsjHv82NaIKQwGGfOAmJPYVw7LpMmKgfHPVmHukGBhIw1PLLoBj sdqZ3mJoa+mCXPkU+2i2KQcBmoB6Kchx5wO1XyoHtxk6VfiORYSpxfsMvrzuGlLG7Wei6tuT 8Ak8jkxgTz/7oqsxLuQ7tK77QObig0AZvrmpBh04mOkZrq/S54HyKlW2hdKRYuQgMjqHHtBe jMhNR9Qn0nyoV6VtzjpzLrrKpHlGGEPorBjqgOt7yms//YAnf+MmALSuqIxHKo2sb8AXDOJ7 Wte5CAl0CSxurS8/cgF8dQwJTRzCczY2z6xlha+30awO9w41kfU+OQIDAQABozIwMDAgBgNV HREEGTAXgRV6LnN6YWxib3RAbGN3b3Jkcy5jb20wDAYDVR0TAQH/BAIwADANBgkqhkiG9w0B AQUFAAOBgQCMOMkqWK44EEHfLZs5f5nHtYtN18QjnjB3htWaFWx/l5VkIZTCQhIHq2Yopo+W 4YvnzawnEksNoAENCY240071ZPVF+FDnBi7ZEtOK7OSyXrQDuZLguriXBQ+30oXWXohJhA2r GXtUaSPSkGIZRHCjaxGv6ino/JwCJS8yoxPSLjCCAz8wggKooAMCAQICAQ0wDQYJKoZIhvcN AQEFBQAwgdExCzAJBgNVBAYTAlpBMRUwEwYDVQQIEwxXZXN0ZXJuIENhcGUxEjAQBgNVBAcT CUNhcGUgVG93bjEaMBgGA1UEChMRVGhhd3RlIENvbnN1bHRpbmcxKDAmBgNVBAsTH0NlcnRp ZmljYXRpb24gU2VydmljZXMgRGl2aXNpb24xJDAiBgNVBAMTG1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJzb25hbCBG cmVlbWFpbCBDQTErMCkGCSqGSIb3DQEJARYccGVyc29uYWwtZnJlZW1haWxAdGhhd3RlLmNv bTAeFw0wMzA3MTcwMDAwMDBaFw0xMzA3MTYyMzU5NTlaMGIxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlpBMSUwIwYD VQQKExxUaGF3dGUgQ29uc3VsdGluZyAoUHR5KSBMdGQuMSwwKgYDVQQDEyNUaGF3dGUgUGVy c29uYWwgRnJlZW1haWwgSXNzdWluZyBDQTCBnzANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOBjQAwgYkCgYEA xKY8VXNV+065yplaHmjAdQRwnd/p/6Me7L3N9VvyGna9fww6YfK/Uc4B1OVQCjDXAmNaLIkV cI7dyfArhVqqP3FWy688Cwfn8R+RNiQqE88r1fOCdz0Dviv+uxg+B79AgAJk16emu59l0cUq VIUPSAR/p7bRPGEEQB5kGXJgt/sCAwEAAaOBlDCBkTASBgNVHRMBAf8ECDAGAQH/AgEAMEMG A1UdHwQ8MDowOKA2oDSGMmh0dHA6Ly9jcmwudGhhd3RlLmNvbS9UaGF3dGVQZXJzb25hbEZy ZWVtYWlsQ0EuY3JsMAsGA1UdDwQEAwIBBjApBgNVHREEIjAgpB4wHDEaMBgGA1UEAxMRUHJp dmF0ZUxhYmVsMi0xMzgwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQADgYEASIzRUIPqCy7MDaNmrGcPf6+svsIX oUOWlJ1/TCG4+DYfqi2fNi/A9BxQIJNwPP2t4WFiw9k6GX6EsZkbAMUaC4J0niVQlGLH2ydx VyWN3amcOY6MIE9lX5Xa9/eH1sYITq726jTlEBpbNU1341YheILcIRk13iSx0x1G/11fZU8x ggNkMIIDYAIBATB2MGIxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlpBMSUwIwYDVQQKExxUaGF3dGUgQ29uc3VsdGlu ZyAoUHR5KSBMdGQuMSwwKgYDVQQDEyNUaGF3dGUgUGVyc29uYWwgRnJlZW1haWwgSXNzdWlu ZyBDQQIQDIF3jab7W+4O83+FQmpoVjAJBgUrDgMCGgUAoIIBwzAYBgkqhkiG9w0BCQMxCwYJ KoZIhvcNAQcBMBwGCSqGSIb3DQEJBTEPFw0wODA4MDUwODE3MDdaMCMGCSqGSIb3DQEJBDEW BBTJ/ufuUPNjh4zepHh8uxvHismPdTBSBgkqhkiG9w0BCQ8xRTBDMAoGCCqGSIb3DQMHMA4G CCqGSIb3DQMCAgIAgDANBggqhkiG9w0DAgIBQDAHBgUrDgMCBzANBggqhkiG9w0DAgIBKDCB hQYJKwYBBAGCNxAEMXgwdjBiMQswCQYDVQQGEwJaQTElMCMGA1UEChMcVGhhd3RlIENvbnN1 bHRpbmcgKFB0eSkgTHRkLjEsMCoGA1UEAxMjVGhhd3RlIFBlcnNvbmFsIEZyZWVtYWlsIElz c3VpbmcgQ0ECEAyBd42m+1vuDvN/hUJqaFYwgYcGCyqGSIb3DQEJEAILMXigdjBiMQswCQYD VQQGEwJaQTElMCMGA1UEChMcVGhhd3RlIENvbnN1bHRpbmcgKFB0eSkgTHRkLjEsMCoGA1UE AxMjVGhhd3RlIFBlcnNvbmFsIEZyZWVtYWlsIElzc3VpbmcgQ0ECEAyBd42m+1vuDvN/hUJq aFYwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQAEggEAW0OTrXP78qVtVX+KHyTnk93KrtxGFA6919p4mzClMqMg gGr5bv7OOubZ133hrkNo1Nqoz4jhDSZEtxdiTCx4UyhLqtfYUbs9a7xSXCl59/s5dXxcNgAt gt/oCDkTJr2IlZfyZgRtH+r9Osw38r0dRV/8sWAassUZcdluenKdtk2e7iCBctzeAMR2xK9X 6RfVqXZPtz1x6u3YMohAMnJ3JPpuMxnldNx2gbyAl7wRYjZriWLSLH1BVjJKTcHLDCFD9d4o YDYu5QkVaVQMLzBiM/GU79bt9IXdx1mmWoBp/Vld+LKakoAGZRZHPddkaMjp0j+tDK5ZXeTt Sy/Wh/mVSwAAAAAAAA== --------------ms090306090805030809070405--
