Make the daily log rotate run on exact time
I have Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS server.
My daily log rotations which are listed under /etc/logrotate.d/ are executed at the morning around 7:00 am, but it is not on exact time, each day it changed on range of (07:00 - 07:25), How can I prevent the random time execution of log rotation?
/etc/crontab file content:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
# m h dom mon dow user command
17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
0 7 * * * 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 )
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate content:
#!/bin/sh
# Clean non existent log file entries from status file
cd /var/lib/logrotate
test -e status || touch status
head -1 status > status.clean
sed 's/"//g' status | while read logfile date
do
[ -e "$logfile" ] && echo ""$logfile" $date"
done >> status.clean
mv status.clean status
test -x /usr/sbin/logrotate || exit 0
/usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf

The /etc/cron.daily folder contains dozens of items (17 items in my box), and logrotate is not guaranteed to run at first.
So if you want logrotate to run exactly the same time everyday, make it as a single entry in the crontab as in the Related thread: Specify the time of daily log rotate
