hourly logrotate


Recommended Posts

Hi! How can I make logrotate run hourly? Do I just need to move logrotate from cron.daily to cron.hourly? Is there an hourly keyword in the logrotate config file aside from the daily, weekly, monthly keywords?

 

What I want to do is to limit the size of .xsession-errors since it becomes very large in a single day. Is there a better way?

 

Thanks.

You could copy or move the job to /etc/cron.hourly, and then the job would run, that's the easiest and simplest way to do it. It will however, most likely affect all logfiles though.

 

I noticed you have to look at /etc/logrotate.conf and also "man logrotate" to see what extra stuff you can do.
