Configuration of logrotate in Raspberry image incorrect

[tammtimmer]

The configuration file /etc/logrotate.d/vzlogger isn't correct.

The first line should be /var/log/vzlogger/*log {

Further the group write permissions for the directory /var/log/vzlogger/ should be removed.

After that the log rotation should work.

You're right, missed that when the directory got changed.

Further the group write permissions for the directory /var/log/vzlogger/ should be removed.
No can do. The different permission is necessary to run vzlogger with changed user-privileges, it's safer when vzlogger is running scripts and binaries as meter 'exec'.
Do you have an alternative solution in mind?

PR as resolution for this matter is welcome.

I try something and I think the vzlogger script should be

/var/log/vzlogger/*log {
        rotate 4
        size=100k
        copytruncate
        missingok
        notifempty
        su root root
        create 0664 vzlogger vzlogger
}

Important is su line before creating the new file. I try it with the command

sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/vzlogger

It works fine, but I don't have experience with real cron job.
