We have FreeBSD newsyslog rotate /var/log/maillog and /var/log/pop-before-smtp at 00:00. the rotation is working, we get the .0.gz files and new log files, but newsyslog-ng is apparently not receiving or reacting to the -HUP or whatever newsyslog sends after rotating the files, so logging to the new files stops at 00:00.
suggestions?
Len, I hate to imply you didn't cover the basics, but are you sure that newsyslog is sending the HUP to the right PID? Maybe it's trying to 'kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid' when the PID file is /var/run/syslog-ng.pid? I don't know how FreeBSD HUPs the syslog daemon, but it could be something like this. -- Nate The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan. Or just re-use this one.
