Description Tom 2008-12-20 21:40:02 UTC 
The logrotate man page contains the following example, and below that, the text.

/var/log/news/news.crit {
           monthly
           rotate 2
           olddir /var/log/news/old
           missingok
           postrotate
               kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inn.pid`
           endscript
           nocompress
       }

...

The last section defines the parameters for all of the files in /var/log/news. 

...
The correct first line should be
/var/log/news/* {

Searching for the logrotate man page will bring results with that text.
