Hello,
is it possible that I have to restart syslog-ng, when deleting a log file? I log from different hosts to different files using $HOST in the config-file. If I delete one file of them it is not created until restarting syslog-ng. Is it possible to change this behaviour.
open files are reaped after a specific time interval if no new messages are written to it. So if your time_reap() is 60 seconds, and a new message pops up within this 60 seconds, then the file is not closed. to force reopening the file you might try sending a -HUP signal to syslog-ng, it'll drop TCP connections (can be changed with the keep-alive() option), but not local AF_UNIX connections, and also reopens all files. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
