How to exclude a service under /etc/logrotate.d/ to run with the main logrotate job

I have a file under logrotate.d that I would like not to run when the main logrotate is running.
I have created a separate job for this in /etc/crontab

45 23   * * *   root    mv /var/log/RemoteSystems/*/*.log /var/log/Archiv/ && logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/test  

The job will move the files from a directory to another and then will apply logrotate. I would like that this job to run separately from main logrotate job in /etc/crontab. The problem is that because "test" is under /etc/logrotate.d/, it will run once again with the main logrotate.
Is there any command that I can insert in logrotate.conf that can exclude "test" to run?
I know that if I am having "test" file out of /etc/logrotate.d, this will not happen, but I would like to keep "test" at the same path.

If you look at the manual man logrotate.conf, you can read find tabooext option which enables you to exclude some files with specific extensions.

tabooext [+] list

     The current taboo extension list is changed (see the include directive for information on the taboo extensions). If a + precedes the

     list of extensions, the current taboo extension list is augmented, otherwise it is replaced. At startup, the  taboo  extension list

     contains  .rpmsave,  .rpmorig,  ~, .disabled, .dpkg-old, .dpkg-dist, .dpkg-new, .dpkg-bak, .dpkg-del, .cfsaved, .ucf-old, .ucf-dist,

     .ucf-new, .rpmnew, .swp, .cfsaved, .rhn-cfg-tmp-*

You can choose one of the default excluded extensions like .disabled or you can specifiy your own additional extension like:

tabooext + .test

All you need to do is to rename your file /etc/logrotate.d/test to have any of these extensions like /etc/logrotate.d/test.disabled.

If you don't want to touch "test", you could try to modify the include /etc/logrotate.d directive in /etc/logrotate.conf. By default it refers to a directory and thus parses all files in that directory, except for some file extensions.

What you can try is, modify the include directory to refer to individual files under /etc/logrotate.d, example /etc/logrotate.d/apt etc. You exclude "test" from that list. I haven't tested this, but it might be worth trying.

You could edit the config file as below:

before

include /etc/logrotate.d

after

include /etc/logrotate.d/*.conf

This should make only files ending .conf in /etc/logrotate.d/ to be picked up by logrotate excluding your test file

If you already have files in /etc/logrotate.d/ being used by logrotate, these would need updated to include .conf

You could edit the config file as below:

before

include /etc/logrotate.d

after

include /etc/logrotate.d/*.conf

This should make only files ending .conf in /etc/logrotate.d/ to be picked up by logrotate excluding your test file

If you already have files in /etc/logrotate.d/ being used by logrotate, these would need updated to include .conf
