Linux – awslinux /etc/cron.daily doesn’t execute logrotate file

cronlinuxlogrotate

sorry about low level english

IN MY STAGING SERVER

I want logrotate every day(nginx)

so I create logrotate file in /etc/logrotate.d/

/etc/logrotate.d/nginx

/var/log/nginx/*log {
    create 0644 nginx nginx
    daily
    rotate 30
    missingok
    notifempty
    nocompress
    dateext
    dateformat -%Y%m%d
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        if [ -f /var/run/nginx.pid ]; then
                 kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/nginx.pid`
        fi
    endscript
}

and I insert logrotate file in cron.daily

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf
EXITVALUE=$?
if [ $EXITVALUE != 0 ]; then
    /usr/bin/logger -t logrotate "ALERT exited abnormally with 
[$EXITVALUE]"
fi
exit 0

and I check /etc/anacrontab

/etc/anacrontab

# /etc/anacrontab: configuration file for anacron

# See anacron(8) and anacrontab(5) for details.

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
# the maximal random delay added to the base delay of the jobs
RANDOM_DELAY=45
# the jobs will be started during the following hours only
START_HOURS_RANGE=3-22

#period in days   delay in minutes   job-identifier   command
1       5       cron.daily              nice run-parts /etc/cron.daily
7       25      cron.weekly             nice run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
@monthly 45     cron.monthly            nice run-parts /etc/cron.monthly

and I check ls -la /var/spool/anacron/cron.daily

/var/spool/anacron/cron.daily

20180221

nginx logs will rotate like access.log, access.log-20180222

but when i command run-parts /etc/cron.daily

It doesn't working…

strangly when i insert command line /usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf

it work very well!

I think /etc/cron.daily/logrotate not executed when run-parts /etc/cron.daily

but In my local docker
I command run-parts /etc/cron.daily, It works

only staging server is not working ,,

why /etc/cron.daily/logrotate file not working when I command run-parts /etc/cron.daily??

Best Answer

problem solved

it is permission problem

chmod 700 logrotate

-rw------- logrotate -> -rwxr--r-- logrotate

it works well
