Logrotate

[karthik keyan]

Hi Koray 
   
  This is what i have done to my servers .
   
  u can edit the config file /etc/logrotate.d/syslog and remove the /var/log/secure /var/log/cron /var/log/messages and add the new file in /etc/logrotate.d/cust and edit the file and add the following 
   
  /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/cron {
        daily 
        missingok
        rotate 7
        compress
        create 600 root root
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
        endscript 
}

  save and exit and restart syslogd service  u r done .
   
  Regards
  Karthik

It's the standard configuration for those logs to be rotated in RHES4. 
Are you sure they're not already being rotated? Did you look in 
/etc/logrotate.d/ for the config files? Did you read the man page for 
logrotate?
