Logrotate stops when the file is missing.
 

I am forcing logrotate utility to execute. But it stops immediately after a file was missing. Actually logrotate should run with warning. Any idea on this?

if you check the standard logrotate docs like "man logrotate.conf" you'll see the missingok option, which is probably what you want here.

Thanks for the reply Chris...

Below are the different configurations of the same file. Actually test folder is not present. My intention is to logrotate will rotate even the file/not directory is not present.

/opt/sample/test/var/log/std_out.log /opt/sample/test/var/log/std_err.log{
rotate 5
daily
missingok
notifempty
compress
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /opt/UMC/sae/var/run/daemon.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript

}

After rotating forcibly logrotate skips the config and continues execution.
But logrotate stops when i will give wild characters in the place of std_out
/opt/sample/test/var/log/std_*.log{
rotate 5
daily
missingok
notifempty
compress
sharedscripts
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /opt/UMC/sae/var/run/daemon.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript

}

ie) if will mention all the files individually logrotate continues execution but it stops when i use std_*.log in the place of stdout.
Can you please help in this?
