 === My settings in logrotate.conf don't effect all of the .log files? ===
-Script files that are called via the logrotate.conf file take precedence over the global settings in logrotate.conf . So if we have a script that is set to work on all *.log files, the few that don't get rotated may need to have scripts written that specify them individually & are stored in the /etc/logrotate.d directory.
+Script files that are called via the logrotate.conf file take precedence over the global settings in logrotate.conf . I use a script I named '''rotate.logs''' that is set to work on all *.log files, & it does. The few that don't get rotated don't have a .log file extension, so therefore need to each have a duplicate block of script added below my the *.log script that specifies each of their particular names.
