Hellow, i need to configure a separate newsyslog process for the next task:
every day 6 of the week i need to run the newsyslog for rotate the file wtmp
in the cron tab file i put the next line
---------cut here---------
0 0 * * 6 root /usr/local/bin/mynewsyslog
---------cut here---------
the mynewsyslog file are the next:
-------cut here---------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
# Rotate the wtmp actual file
system("/usr/sbin/newsyslog -f /etc/newsyslog.wtmp");
-------cut here---------
and the newsyslog.wtmp file is:
------cut here----------
# configuration file for newsyslog
# $Id: newsyslog.conf,v 1.6.2.1 1997/02/05 14:18:24 mpp Exp $
#
# logfilename owner.group mode count size time [ZB]
/var/log/wtmp 664 7 * 0 ZB
------cut here-----------
i need to rotate the file exactly at 00:00 hrs in the day 6 of the week, and
in the last file i specify the time = 0 (0 hrs).
The problem is becouse this dont work.
do you know a form for do that exactly in the time that i need (0 hrs of day
6 of the week)?
In the original file i only put an # in the wtmp line; the others files
rotate are working well.
thanks in advanced
Saludos
Alejandro
