centos ... cron ... logrotate ... vsftpd

[EvolutionCrazy]

Avendo

/etc/logrotate.d/vsftpd.log

impostato così:

/var/log/vsftpd.log {
    # ftpd doesn't handle SIGHUP properly
    #compress
    missingok
    mail io@io.io
}

/var/log/xferlog {
    # ftpd doesn't handle SIGHUP properly
    #compress
    missingok
    mail io@io.io
}

mi ritrovo con logrotate che mi manda il log via mail SOLO quando lo richiamo da riga di comando (ok anche in "debug") da root:

logrotate -df /etc/logrotate.d/vsftpd.log

questo l'output:

reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/vsftpd.log
reading config info for /var/log/vsftpd.log
reading config info for /var/log/xferlog

Handling 2 logs

rotating pattern: /var/log/vsftpd.log  forced from command line (no old logs will be kept)
empty log files are rotated, old logs mailed to io@io.io
considering log /var/log/vsftpd.log
  log needs rotating
rotating log /var/log/vsftpd.log, log->rotateCount is 0
renaming /var/log/vsftpd.log.1 to /var/log/vsftpd.log.2 (rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 1),
renaming /var/log/vsftpd.log.0 to /var/log/vsftpd.log.1 (rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 0),
renaming /var/log/vsftpd.log to /var/log/vsftpd.log.1
disposeName will be /var/log/vsftpd.log.1
removing old log /var/log/vsftpd.log.1

rotating pattern: /var/log/xferlog  forced from command line (no old logs will be kept)

removing old log /var/log/xferlog.1

quando invece va con cron per conto suo il rotate lo fa ma non mi manda il log via email...

c'e' una spiegazione per tale comportamento?
logrotate non viene eseguito da root tramite cron?

ok, sono io scemo

avrei dovuto leggermi il MAN

la mail viene inviata prima di cancellare il log... la macchina su cui stavo provando era troppo nuova... e non era ancora arrivata a cancellare i logs :P

la configurazione li sopra funziona perfettamente
