I need to be able to rotate cron.daily on OpenSUSE 10.3 at 2315 hours every night. This is because I need to rotate my apache logs (via logrotate) at that time.
At the moment my apache logs are rotating at various different time (I guess via cron.daily).
In my root’s crontab I have put
0 23 * * * rm -f /var/spool/cron/lastrun/cron.daily
since I have read somewhere that cron.daily will start 15 minutes after I delete this file. But logs are still rotated around 1600.
cat /etc/cron.daily/logrotate
#!/bin/sh
TMPF=
mktemp /tmp/logrotate.XXXXXXXXXX/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf 2>&1 | tee $TMPF
EXITVALUE=${PIPESTATUS[0]}if $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
# wait a sec, we might just have restarted syslog
sleep 1
# tell what went wrong
/bin/logger -t logrotate “ALERT exited abnormally with $EXITVALUE]”
/bin/logger -t logrotate -f $TMPF
firm -f $TMPF
exit 0
cat /etc/logrotate.conf

Thanks for any help.
