atop log files

Hi all,

I have installed atop monitoring tool on debian 8. Somehow the logs are not getting deleted though I have changed the logrotate on atop.daily file. Do you have any idea ?

( (sleep 3; find $LOGPATH -name 'atop_*' -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \

& )

[obviously] insufficient info. But first please use code tags to post code, because it is now more or less unreadable.

Dropping in a line of code without knowing anything about its environment, context is just meaningless.
If I remember well logrotate itself can remove old logs, do not need to do it like that.

Code:

       rotate count
              Log  files are rotated count times before being removed or mailed to the address specified in a mail directive. If
              count is 0, old versions are removed rather than rotated. Default is 0.
