Cockpit shows logrotate failed on Pi #11

Log rotate shows failed in Cockpit on Pi only. VM is fine. systemctl status logrotate also shows error nems logrotate[27179]: error: error running non-shared prerotate script for /var/log/nems/memtest.log of '/var/log/nems/.log /var/log/nems//*.log

Thank you. Confirmed: it appears the exclusions in the logrotate nems.conf are not compatible with the newer version of logrotate in NEMS Linux 1.6 on the Raspberry Pi. When your memtest.log file exceeded 1 MB, it triggered the log rotation, but then saw the incompatible exclusion and crashed logrotate.

Fixed: I've changed the logrotate config to rotate specific log files rather than globs with exclusions.
