Re: [cobalt-users] Logrotate problem

[Chris Fragogiannis <franki@xxxxxxxx>]

I have renamed webalizer.pl to awebalizer.pl, but the cron doesn't run the script anymore. I have to
run it manually. What's wrong? I have also renamed logrotate to zlogrotate.




>That's part of the solution. Out of the box, Webalizer uses the logs themselves as a history and rebuilds the data *completely* every night. So what you want to do is get webalizer to run before logrotate, *and* set Webalizer to incremental mode, which will cause it to keep its own history files rather than relying on the logs for them.
