[logs] compress log error (was PIX logging)

AllenCat_private

Ok, I've got the PIX logging working now I believe.  I had to create a
separate logrotate script and run it at a specific time (11:55pm) because I
just realized that the daily cron job was running at 4:02 pm, which isn't
when I want my Cisco logs to be rotated.

Anyway, the only problem I'm having now is getting them to compress.  Here's
the logrotate script for the PIX that I'm using:

/var/log/cisco_pix_515e/pix {
	daily
	rotate 4
	create
	compress
	   postrotate
	      /usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd; mv
/var/log/cisco_pix_515e/pix.1 /var/log/cisco_pix_515e/pix$(date +%Y%m%d)
	   endscript
}

For testing I'm calling it with the following line:

logrotate -f /etc/cisco_pix_515e_logrotate_script

After running that, it rotates it correctly and starts logging to the new
file.  However, with the compress line left in the script, I get the
following error:

gzip: /var/log/cisco_pix_515e/pix.1: No such file or directory
failed to compress log /var/log/cisco_pix_515e/pix.1

Any tips on what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks a lot,
Allen
