Ed,
Thanks!
Following up my last post - things ARE getting rotated now - but after
watching the logs for a few days:
I see the syslog file are being rotated at 3:25am
(/var/lib/logrotate.status) but my crontab file has:
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
and there is nothing in crontab with a 3:25am on it . . what is going
on?
Thanks,
Phil.
