logrotate

Rotates, compresses, and mails system logs. More information: https://manned.org/logrotate.

• Trigger a run manually:

logrotate path/to/logrotate.conf --force

• Run using a specific command to mail reports:

logrotate path/to/logrotate.conf --mail /usr/bin/mail_command

• Run without using a state (lock) file:

logrotate path/to/logrotate.conf --state /dev/null

• Run and skip the state (lock) file check:

logrotate path/to/logrotate.conf --skip-state-lock

• Tell logrotate to log verbose output into the log file:

logrotate path/to/logrotate.conf --log path/to/log_file
