With the logrotate config. below I was expecting the program to start compressing log files after creating the first backup file. Instead I am seeing this:
[root@host ~]# ll /var/log
total 1.2M
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 31 13:29 ./
drwxrwxr-x 7 1000 1000 4.0K Aug 29 01:49 ../
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 289 Aug 29 02:11 auth.log.1

[root@host ~]# cat /etc/logrotate.conf
compress
include /etc/logrotate.d
/var/log/* {
rotate 7
daily
delaycompress
missingok
sharedscripts
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
The target system is BusyBox v1.20.2.
Perhaps the problem is that I've specified to rotate all logs under /var/log, instead of naming them each explicitly? I would prefer to be able to just say rotate all logs under /var/log however and have it work as expected.
/etc/logrotate.d/*that conflict.
