I want to upload my apache logs to a remote FTP server, wich i have allready managed to figure out how to do. However.



I could inject the code in the logrotate cron job, but i am worried it would mess up the auto update since it is maintained by the system.



How to i create a cron job that runs just before logrotate in cron.daily

  • Why bother? Both new and old logs are still available. Let logrotate run normally, and simply send yesterday's log anytime afterward.
