- Run using a specific command to mail reports:
`logrotate {{path/to/logrotate.conf}} --mail {{/usr/bin/mail_command}}`
- Run without using a state (lock) file:
`logrotate {{path/to/logrotate.conf}} --state /dev/null`
- Run and skip the state (lock) file check:
`logrotate {{path/to/logrotate.conf}} --skip-state-lock`
