Thanks for your help tjc
If I didn't have the code from your post to go on and compare to it would have remained one of those long lost mysteries.

I did find that syslog rotates these files. /var/log/syslog is daily all the rest are weekly.
Code:
> syslogd-listfiles --all
/var/log/mail.warn
/var/log/uucp.log
/var/log/user.log
/var/log/daemon.log
/var/log/messages
/var/log/mythtv/mythfrontend.log
/var/log/debug
/var/log/auth.log
/var/log/mail.err
/var/log/syslog
/var/log/mail.log
/var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log
/var/log/mail.info
/var/log/kern.log
/var/log/lpr.log

It will be Monday before I get a chance to install anacron and see if it cures my ills.

The Log Bog is gone.
My 5.5 KM Box has now been running 24 hours strait and all logs have rolled over. In a previous post I threw out this question.

Can anyone else confirm this assumption is true.
Using APCI Wakeup = logs not rotating.
Running 24/7 = logs rotating OK.

The wording needs to be modified a bit.

Running periods of less than 24 hours = logs not rotating.
Running 24/7 = logs rotating OK.

In general, you are correct.

To get around this issue, I set a daily wakeup in mythwelcome between 9am and 10am. I then set the daily cron jobs to run during this period by changing the entries in /etc/crontab as follows. Notice I have changed the number in the second (hour) column to all be "9":
Code:
25 9    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 9    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 9    1 * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )

I also have another custom cronjob that does regular maintenance (mythbackup, schedule download, etc.).

I highly recommend a daily wakeup for regular maintenance. Not just for backups... If you don't schedule a recording for a week and the box doesn't wakeup, all the downloaded TV schedules will expire and it will won't wakeup if a regularly scheduled item comes along.
