Hi again,


/usr/sbin/logrotate -d /usr/local/bin/scripts/logrotate-tomcat0-catalina.conf
reading config file /usr/local/bin/scripts/logrotate-tomcat0-catalina.conf
reading config info for /opt/tomcat1/logs/catalina.out

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /opt/tomcat1/logs/catalina.out  after 1 days (7 rotations)
empty log files are not rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /opt/tomcat1/logs/catalina.out
log does not need rotating

Is it not weird ?

Please suggest.

Thanks,

Kaushal
