The cron runs daily the webalzer.pl script (2.01) and logrotate. I know that the scripts are running in alphabetical order, so the 'logrotate' runs first. This means that the logrotate will reset the web.log file and then the webalizer won't generate any log entries for the last day, because the web.log file is empty.

Is there any way to make 'webalizer.pl' to be executed before 'logrotate' ? I have renamed webalizer.pl -> awebalizer.pl and logrotate -> zlogrotate but after that both scripts are not running automatically, only manually. Any ideas?

You have searched the forum already eh? *hint*

You need to change the filenames AND the references to the files. If you don't change both it won't work.

Could you please give me more help? Thank you.

THis way it alos processe the rotated log files. Works fine for me. Only problem is that it's a bit more work for the server.
