Fpr anyone else reading this, I stumbled on the solution. The opening brace on a section must be at the end of the line instead of the next line. I suggest that the parser be improved to handle this.

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.

I have a Snort log file that has to remain open, while it takes and copies off 1M files for retrieval and analysis. The 1M (1MB) test file size is to ensure that I can keep logging continues and we don't lose any information or payload. One option is to create new file instances, while keeping the original instances. The file instances would be unique, with the extensions being generated, based on a (clock) second count. The new file creation second could be 0, all the way up to 86400, so could be...

When I run logrotate with -f (force rotation, for testing), I get ==> "Exception: Access to path c:\logrotate.status is denied. " Files cannot and should not be placed out to the c: root directory. It denies access. I had to set up some pathing, because I am using Snort for Windows, which places files in Snort directories, which was unsuccessful to place files there, so tried to place the test files in the users area, but was unsucessful. I need logrotatewin to read the log files from the c:\Snort\bin...

Not the best at Windows etc.. more an AIX guy. BUT.. I downloaded the package. Tested it on a windows server. Appears to install correctly. But when I try to run logrotate I get a pop up that Windows features couldnt install .NET Framework 3.5. All I can find googling is the logrotate app might be dependent on .NET being installed? Thanks for any help!

Hi, we've got a project here which produces so much logs, that we'd like to rotate hourly (Unix version of logrotate supports this). Is this possible to implement in LogRotateWin? The master branch on on github seems to be 0.0.0.12 instead of 0.0.0.18 - which is the correct version? regards, Christian

If you place some spaces between a key and its numeric value the config file cannot be parsed anymore... parameters should be trimmed before parsing.
