Hi, Thanks for your reply. Cron is indeed installed and started. I had a logrotate script in cron.daily. When i ran logrotate -d -f logrotate.conf first it failed to complete with an error having to do with ftp, corrected that, reran it, this time it completed successfully but the major file had not rotated. The script claimed rotation of the maillog* files replacing 5 with 4, but the large maillog file didn't go away. Thanks. Dave.
