Email errors while using logrotate
up vote

I am using logrotate as follows:
/usr/sbin/logrotate -v -s $STATUS_LOG $CONF_FILE >> $MY_LOG 2>>$MY_ERR
The problem is that the output of logrotate is being written to $MY_ERR while I just want to write standard error to $MY_ERR to email it later to recipients.
Could anyone please help or share his/her ideas?

The question has been rated to minus while my question was valid. checkout github.com/logrotate/logrotate/issues/25 once using logrotate along with option verbose, output will be redirected to stderr and not stdout
