I did find that info on google as well, but, that other info regarding globbing was extremely helpful thanks ;).

I am trying to use logrotate to rotate our web logs for our various vhosted sites to cut down on space and rotate out old logs that are not necessary to keep around personally. What Im curious to find out, is how supported extended regular expressions is within the logrotate.conf file.
Ok... logrotate(8) is unpleasantly unspecific about that, though from googling [1], and reading glob(3) I believe that globbing is available through (g)libc which logrotate is linked to:
# ldd /usr/sbin/logrotate libpopt.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libpopt.so.0 (0x0000003c8c000000) libselinux.so.1 => /lib64/libselinux.so.1 (0x0000003c88000000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x0000003c86800000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x0000003c87000000) libsepol.so.1 => /lib64/libsepol.so.1 (0x0000003c87c00000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000003c86400000)
So I guess you can use glob(7) (as stated in [1]).
Frank.
