I don't know the template but I have a script allsites-logrotate.cgi
located in /etc/cron.daily that works:



#!/usr/bin/perl

system(rm -f /etc/logrotate.d/site*);
system(rm -f /etc/logrotate.onboot/site*);
system(rm -f /etc/logrotate.d/home);
system(rm -f /etc/logrotate.onboot/home);

open(LOGROTATEDATEI, ">/etc/logrotate.d/allsites") || die "Could not open /etc/logrotate.d/allsites\n";

  print LOGROTATEDATEI "/home/sites/home/logs/mail.log {\n   missingok\n   compress\n   size 200k\n}\n\n";
  print LOGROTATEDATEI "/home/sites/home/logs/ftp.log {\n   missingok\n   compress\n   size 200k\n}\n\n";
  print LOGROTATEDATEI "/home/sites/home/logs/web.log {\n   missingok\n   compress\n   size 2M\n}\n\n";

  for ($i=1; $i<=200; $i++) {
    print LOGROTATEDATEI "/home/sites/site".$i."/logs/mail.log {\n   missingok\n   compress\n   size 200k\n}\n\n";
    print LOGROTATEDATEI "/home/sites/site".$i."/logs/ftp.log {\n   missingok\n   compress\n   size 200k\n}\n\n";
    print LOGROTATEDATEI "/home/sites/site".$i."/logs/web.log {\n   missingok\n   compress\n   size 2M\n}\n\n";
  }
  
close(LOGROTATEDATEI);



Replace "size 200k" / "size 2M" with "daily" and you should have that
what you are looking for. This script will delete all site-specific
logrotate files and will create one file "allsites"with the
logroate-configuration for all sites.

If you have more than 200 sites per RaQ change $i<=200 to any value
you want. It does not matter if you have less than $i sites.

You should place this script in /etc/cron.daily because the GUI will
create a siteXY-file each time you'll change the site-quota for a
specific site XY. You should name the script so it executes (chmod
700) prior the job called "logrotate".
