I've followed the method shown at https://askubuntu.com/a/24526/498355 to make daily logrotate.d rotate at exactly 00:00. I have 2 physical servers which ubuntu 16.04 with the same date and timezone. The problem is that one server rotates on 01:00 and the other on 00:00.

Is there an explanation for this?

  • Are the two servers in sync timewise? – Arronical Aug 04 '16 at 09:36
  • Yes. Server 1: `Thu Aug 4 12:41:37 EEST 2016`, server 2: `Thu Aug 4 12:41:37 EEST 2016`. – cherouvim Aug 04 '16 at 09:42
  • What happens if you specify 00 23 * * * for the one that starts at 1am? Alternatively don't use the numerical method, use "@midnight" See here at the bottom of the page for "@" options. https://linuxmoz.com/crontab-syntax-tutorial/ – DanglingPointer Aug 04 '16 at 11:29
