Hi ulf

In the script I should have it as

/usr/sbin/logrotate -v
/usr/local/bin/scripts/logrotate-tomcat-sms-catalina.conf

instead of

/usr/sbin/logrotate
/usr/local/bin/scripts/logrotate-tomcat-sms-catalina.conf

My Bash script is as below

#cat /usr/local/bin/scripts/call-logrotate-tomcat-sms-catalina

#!/bin/bash

/usr/sbin/logrotate
/usr/local/bin/scripts/logrotate-tomcat-sms-catalina.conf > /tmp/log 2>&1

if [[ $? -eq 0 ]] ;then
echo "Successful." | /usr/bin/nail -n -s "[CRON] host0086 compress
tomcat-sms catalina.log - success" kaushal at example.com,ravik at example.com,
umang at example.com
else
echo "Problems." | /usr/bin/nail -n -s "[CRON] host0086 compress tomcat-sms
catalina.log - problems" kaushal at example.com,ravik at example.com,
umang at example.com
fi

Please let me know if I am doing wrong

Thanks and Regards

Kaushal
