Logrotate based on time AND size


Hi,
I am setting up logrotate config file to rotate daily for atmost two times. Is rotation based on time (used by daily/monthly) mutually exclusive with rotation based on filesize?

What would be the effect of this config file?:
{
rotate 2
daily
size=100k
}

What is the effect of this config?
The desired functionality is this: Rotate 2 times and each rotation is triggered either by time (end of day) OR by the size of the file.

The manpage is not clear on this functionality!

Thanks a bunch for any help.
Shishya

What happened when you tried this? Did it work the way you hoped?
