Hi,
I want to be certain that my apache and varnish logfiles are in strict date order when rotated. I'd like to run a sort command against them before they're compressed.
I've had a look at the logrotate man page, and it looks like I can use a postrotate/endscript to do this. However, I can see any reference in the documentation for how to operate on the file. All the examples seem to take the form of restarting something, or running some other standalone script. What I want to do is run a sort command against the newly rotated file - but how do I know what it is called?
Any ideas?
S.
