[ale] OT: logrotate on Solaris (vs linux)

[Gene Matthews]

Any one using logrotate on solaris?  The syntax of the conf file,
although the man pages seem to show it identically betwen linux and
solaris, doesn't seem to work on solaris.

In /etc/logrotate.conf (solaris 8) i have:

{prodweb:root}# cat /etc/logrotate.conf         
"/var/apache/logs/access_log" {
  rotate 5
  weekly 
  compress
  postrotate
    /opt/apache/bin/apachectl restart
  endscript
}


When I run logrotate I get:

{prodweb:root}# logrotate -v /etc/logrotate.conf
reading config file /etc/logrotate.conf
reading config info for "/var/apache/logs/access_log" {
error: /etc/logrotate.conf:1 unexpected text
error: /etc/logrotate.conf:2 unexpected text
error: /etc/logrotate.conf:3 unexpected log filename


This is a slight improvement.  I have tweaked and played around some.  I
was getting coredumps when I ran the above. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Gene
