Fix logrotation rules * explicitly specify the dirs that are getting rotated * app log rules are now moved to logrotate.ejs * we keep task logs for a week Some testing notes: * touch -d "10 days ago" foo * logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf -v to test rotation. there is a state file created in /var/lib/logrotate/status. If we have a 'daily' rule, it will get processed only after a log line in status exists and it's atleast 1 day old timestamp. https://github.com/logrotate/logrotate/blob/master/logrotate.c is quite readable 2019-07-30 14:47:33 -07:00			`rotate 5`
