Frank Can I ask you 1 last question? :) I made a /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng and erased /etc/logrotate.d/syslog. The only difference is the new guy works off /var/run/syslog-ng.pid rather than /var/run/syslog.pid. Will logrotate run this file when it rotates syslog-ng files??? How does logrotate know to run this file?? I assume it expects a file whose name is the name of the daemon??? (If I called it /etc/logrotate.d/charlie it prolly would not have worked right?)

Chris, Yes, as long as there was only one file that referred to the log files. Otherwise both would try to rotate them and confuse most people later.

Thanks. From your info it sounds like it would make more sense to just replace /etc/logrotate.d/syslog with a modified version *or* /etc/logrotate.d/syslog-ng if that would work.
