[cobalt-users] Webalizer - logrotate - missing days

[Mark Thompson - Mailing Lists <mark-lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For a long time I've notice that sites are missing days but now I have a 
larger site that never gets processed.  I've narrowed this down to the 
logfile being rotated away before Webalizer gets ahold of it.  I could just 
make the threshold for logrotate a lot higher but it would still get 
rotated away every so often.

Has anyone found a good solution for this?  I've searched the archives here 
and found someone who suggested manually doing this for sites that I care 
to know about.

It seems like the problem is that Webalizer and logrotate are run in the 
same daily cron cycle simultaneously at 4:02 am.  I would just run 
logrotate an hour later but I'm not sure whether logrotate needs to be run 
to split the logfiles first.

Could someone tell me whether logrotate does this original splitting or is 
it just responsible for the rotating and compressing of the logfiles after 
they've been split?
