I have a standalone Tomcat installed on CentOS 8 and I am trying to rotate the catalina.out file. I have created a file named /etc/logrotate.d/tomcat with vim and added the following line: /opt/tomcat9/logs/catalina.out { copytruncate daily rotate 7 compress missingok size 5M } However when I try to execute it manually I get the following error: [root@dummy bin]# /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf error: tomcat:1 bad rotation count '7 compress missingok size 5M }' Can someone explain what I am doing wrong please?
