guys. im trying to add to logrotate files from a some directory. it should be either *.txt files or *_log files. wtat's the right syntax for this:

/var/www/html/groupware/horde_logs/[*.txt|*_log]{
missingok
notifempty
sharedscripts
size=5129k
delaycompress
postrotate
endscript
}

~

or it should be:

..{*.txt|*_log} or ..(*.txt|*_log)?
bash

    It would be *{.txt,_log} (note the comma, not the pipe). However, after a quick look at the source to logrotate (Ubuntu Saucy) I see the flag GLOB_BRACE to enable this GNU extension isn't present. Thus, you have to do something like

    /var/www/html/groupware/horde_logs/*.txt /var/www/html/groupware/horde_logs/*_log {
  ...
}

    instead.
