<br>
Does anybody know how to cause logrotate to retain the rotated logs <br>
forever? The man page for `rotate` says this:<br>
<br>
<br>
> rotate count<br>
> Log files are rotated count times before being removed or mailed <br>
to the address specified in a mail directive. If count is 0, old <br>
versions are removed rather than rotated.<br>
<br>
<br>
It doesn't say what happens if this option is omitted entirely. I asked <br>
ChatGPT and it lied to me with a catastrophic answer which would delete <br>
everything. I can't find an answer on the usual sites like <br>
Stackoverflow. Hoping for a response an actual human who has done this <br>
before.<br>
<br>
Thanks very much!<br>
<br>
<br>
Chris.<br>
