Hi all,
I have recently started using logrotate to rotate all the logs in the users
home directories. These are all apache logs files.
/home/domain.com/logsaccess_log
/home/domain.com/logsaccess_log.0.gz
/home/domain.com/logsaccess_log.1.gz
/home/domain.com/logsaccess_log.2.gz
I have a problem though. Some of my domains have softlinks pointing to them,
this causes the logs to be rotated 2 or more times (i.e. 1 time for the
'real' directory, and 1 time each for each softlink pointing to them).
Example
/home/domain.com/logs/
domain2.com -> domain.com
domain3.com -> domain.com
will result in the 'access_log' being rotated 3 times in one run, causing my
log dirs to look like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 160 Oct 1 05:44 access_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 446 Oct 1 05:44 error_log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.1.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.2.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.3.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.4.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.5.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 20 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.6.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 224 Oct 1 03:46 access_log.7.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 20 Sep 30 03:46 access_log.8.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root holt 20 Sep 30 03:46 access_log.9.gz
Here is this appropriate part of my logrotate.conf
# logrotate.conf
compress
...
/home/*/logs/access_log {
missingok
rotate 14
daily
create 644 root
sharedscripts
postrotate
/usr/local/sbin/apachectl restart
endscript
}
# End of logrotate.conf
Question, is there a way to stop this from happening?
