Hi all (sorry for my english), I would like to know how to make a folder logs rotate every day, and compress the content (do not want to remove)
This is the configuration file content:

compress

C:\Documents and Settings\synchrot\Desktop\BackupsLogsPrueba {
rotate 5
daily
prerotate
@echo off
echo This is a test
echo parameter pass %1
VER | TIME > TEMP.BAT
ECHO SET TIME=%%3>CURRENT.BAT
DEL TEMP.BAT
DEL CURRENT.BAT
ECHO It's %TIME% now

endscript

}

I Do not know how to test run, and if it is well configured.
Could you please help me?

Thanks.

For a test run, use logrotate -d configFile

That will give you debugging output about what logrotate would do if it ran. No files will be affected.

Here is my config file:

compress
nosmtpssl
smtpfrom howard@sci1.com
smtpport 25
smtpserver mail.sci1.com
ifempty
missingok

e:\FastvueSyslog\dhcp2.sci1.com\dhcp2.sci1.com.log
{
rotate 5
weekly
mail howard@sci1.com
}

Pretty simple. When I run logrotate, I get an error:

logrotate: Unknown directive e:\FastvueSyslog\dhcp2.sci1.com\dhcp2.sci1.com.log

What am I doing wrong?
