As we wanted to make sure we solved the problem, and for all the logs, we inserted a new cron that ran logrotate with the -f parameter on a specific day of the year: 0 0 11 5 * /usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf I'm not sure we used midnight as the time, and the day was different for every machine. Thinking about it now, maybe it should be done twice a year. 0 0 11 5,11 * /usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf Anyway, you get the general idea. Filipe
