Handy logrotate.d verification script (in Perl)

Artifact | Code | Open Source | Present | Past

This is a Perl script I wrote a while back as a housekeeping tool for Linux systems. It looks in /var/log and in /etc/logrotate.d, comparing the existing log files to the ones mentioned in your logrotate configuration files, producing a helpful list of which files are not being rotated.

o so recently we still felt
the ground beneath our feet,
the ways the winds and rivers go,
and in warm grass grateful we knelt
in praying pleasure: the world was sweet.
