Hi, folks,
This is a real puzzler. The logrotate command is falsely claiming that my log files don't exist and thus is not rotating them. Here's my config file from /etc/logrotate.d:
{
su tomcat tomcat
daily
rotate 30
compress
notifempty
missingok
copytruncate
}
And here's what happens when I run logrotate -f -v <config file>
[root@degreeworksapp3 log]# logrotate -f -v /etc/logrotate.d/degreeworks
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/degreeworks
Reading state from file: /var/lib/logrotate/logrotate.status

Handling 1 logs
rotating pattern: /u01/app/tomcat/dwtest/degreeworks/logs/catalina.out
/u01/app/tomcat/dwtest/degreeworks/logs/localhost.log
/u01/app/tomcat/dwtest/degreeworks/logs/StudentPlanner.log
forced from command line (30 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
switching euid to 91 and egid to 91
considering log /u01/app/tomcat/dwtest/degreeworks/logs/catalina.out
log /u01/app/tomcat/dwtest/degreeworks/logs/catalina.out does not exist -- skipping
considering log /u01/app/tomcat/dwtest/degreeworks/logs/localhost.log
log /u01/app/tomcat/dwtest/degreeworks/logs/localhost.log does not exist -- skipping
considering log /u01/app/tomcat/dwtest/degreeworks/logs/StudentPlanner.log
log /u01/app/tomcat/dwtest/degreeworks/logs/StudentPlanner.log does not exist -- skipping
switching euid to 0 and egid to 0
set default create context to system_u:object_r:logrotate_var_lib_t:s0
But those files certainly do exist:
[root@degreeworksapp3 log]# find / -type f -ls | egrep -i "(catalina|localhost|StudentPlanner).(out|log)$"

Your thoughts?
Thanks,
