I use a script '''/etc.logrotate.d/rotate.logs''' that is set to work on all *.log files, & it does. The two that don't get rotated are called '''faillog''' & lastlog''' , apart from not having the '''.log''' file extension, these two files are not normal log files, they are accessed via terminal commands of the same name. | I use a script '''/etc.logrotate.d/rotate.logs''' that is set to work on all *.log files, & it does.
