logrotate cron
 

Hi

Do you guys have any idea how to set up the logrotate cron to not rotate when there is high traffic in a server Linux RedHat6?

Thanks in advance

By default logrotate runs from cron.daily which defaults to START_HOURS_RANGE=3-22 so assuming your server runs 24/7 it should run around 03:xx at whatever timezone your computer is configured.

If want to run logrotate at a specific time then you can add a job to /etc/crontab instead. There are several utilities to measure load and a cron script could be written to check for a certain level and then rotate the logs.
