<div class="PlainText">This looks like the file utility was unable to determine the type of as-log.out. As it should normally be able to identify all types emitted by logrotate, this suggests to me that the actual file it was ran on is corrupt.<br>

<div>This may be a result of pasting, but AFAIK logrotate requires an absolute path.</div>

<div>This will default to gzip compression, with an extension '.<number>.gz' added to the filename. Normally, you would use the z* utilities (zcat, zless, zmore, zgrep, zdiff) to handle rotated logs as these will also handle uncompressed streams. I note that
the filename above does not have the usual extension, but this may also be a result of pasting/obfuscation.</div>

<div>You should be able to run logrotate -d <configfile> and see all actions that would be performed according to configfile.</div>
