Hi all I use Exim 3.16 as our MTA and would like to email the daily log to a remote mailbox, then cycle the logfile. There is an utility included in the distro of Exim, called exicyclog, which accomplishes the cycling... I've read the Exim utilities man page on exicyclog and have created a crontab file called "exim" in /var/cron/tabs which contains the following line: 1 0 * * * /usr/exim/bin/exicyclog This calls the log cycling script just after midnight every day which renames the log to mainlogx where x is an integer from 1 to a predetermined maximum, defaulting to 10. So far so good... But...(there's always a but), I would like to also be able to set up a cron job to email the logfile daily, just before running the exicyclog script. If the exicyclog is incrementing the log by 1 every time it's run, how would I instruct cron to mail the day's log???
