Why doesn't logrotate run by cron?

Question

linux

There is a config for nginx log rotation:

/var/log/nginx/*.log {
    size=100K
  daily
  missingok
  rotate 14
  compress
  delaycompress
  notifempty
  create 0640 www-data adm
  sharedscripts
  prerotate
    if [ -d /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate ]; then \
      run-parts /etc/logrotate.d/httpd-prerotate; \
    fi \
  endscript
  postrotate
    invoke-rc.d nginx rotate >/dev/null 2>&1
  endscript
}

I use logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/nginx and everything works successfully.
But automatically, every minute, cron does not work.
In crontab -e wrote like this:

* * * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/nginx

Where did you go wrong? service cron restart did.

Answer 1

Found an error. Didn't add the -f option .

* * * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/nginx

Answer 2

Maybe in crontab it is necessary to write down with a repetition interval?

*/1 * * * * root  /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/nginx
