How can I integrate logrotate with systemd?

You can integrate logrotate with systemd by creating a systemd service that triggers logrotate at specific intervals.

What are the steps to create a systemd service for logrotate?

First, create a service file in /etc/systemd/system/, then define the service and timer units to schedule logrotate.

Can you provide an example of a service file for logrotate?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

[Unit]
Description=Logrotate Service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf

And for the timer:

[Unit]
Description=Run logrotate daily

[Timer]
OnCalendar=daily
Persistent=true

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

How do I enable and start the timer?

sudo systemctl enable logrotate.timer
sudo systemctl start logrotate.timer
