Resolved Logrotation not working

Hi,

one of our server is not rotating their logs (maillog, maillog.processed, fail2ban.log, messages, secure, etc.). I made sure that /etc/cron.daily/logrotate is present. rsyslog is installed and active.

To fix the issue I tried to move the file /usr/local/psa/var/logrotate.status and executed /usr/local/psa/bin/sw-engine-pleskrun /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/DailyMaintainance/script.php -f ExecuteStatistics But this rotated the logs only once.

Hi,

make sure the cron service is running (it happened to me a while back with an old Debian machine that nothing was being rotated because of that).

@JVG Thank you very much that solved the problem. Now that I think of it, it's very obvious, but I didn't check for that.

Yeah, the same thing happened to me, after reviewing every logrotate file and service, finally I checked the cron service and voilá.
