LogRotate didn`t work… ;(
This is my test steps:
1.

# cat /etc/logrotate.d/test6
/tmp/test6/test6.log
{
    daily
    missingok
    rotate 5
    create 640 root root
}
  1. Folder is EMPT
# ls -la /tmp/test6/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Jun 10 07:00 .
drwxrwxrwt 29 root root 12288 Jun 10 07:00 ..
# 



 # logrotate -dfv /etc/logrotate.d/test6 
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/test6

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /tmp/test6/test6.log
 forced from command line (5 rotations)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /tmp/test6/test6.log
  log /tmp/test6/test6.log does not exist -- skipping
  1. Create TEST6.log fle. it`s OK.
 # "test test tes"> /tmp/test6/test6.log

# logrotate -dfv /etc/logrotate.d/test6 
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/test6

You are using the **debug **flag which disables executing the actual changes.

-d, --debug
Turns on debug mode and implies -v.  In debug mode, no changes will be made to the logs or to the logrotate state file.

Drop -d and it’ll actually do something.
