[Bug 1249822] Re: Logrotate doesn't run hourly in Ubuntu 13.04

[Kasper Grubbe]

I've since stopped using Ubuntu, but does this mean that this is still a
problem? Which version of Ubuntu are you running?

Title:
  Logrotate doesn't run hourly in Ubuntu 13.04

  I am now creating a bug:

  I am currently experiencing some issues with logrotate, and running
  them hourly. After some investigation I found the following:

  /etc/crontab:
  # m h dom mon dow user command
  17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
  25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
  47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
  52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )

  ls /etc/cron.daily/
  logrotate

  ls /etc/cron.hourly/
  # empty

  I think that means the following logrotate will not work:

  ls /etc/logrotate.d/nginx
  /var/log/nginx/*.log {
    hourly
    # (...)
  }

  root at wilmut:~# lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 13.04
  Release:	13.04

  root at wilmut:~# apt-cache policy logrotate
  logrotate:
    Installed: 3.8.3-3ubuntu2
    Candidate: 3.8.3-3ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 3.8.3-3ubuntu2 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  Is there a reason why logrotate is not set to run hourly in Ubuntu?
