Problem with "kill -HUP" on syslog-ng
Hi, I need some help because I encountered a problem when trying to make some automatic logrotate script with syslog-ng. My "logrotate script" is the following : /var/log/*.log { sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog-ng.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript } The syslog-ng daemon never restarts when you type "kill -HUP <syslog-ng.pid>" I tried also "kill -SIGUP ..." same result (the daemon is stopped but never restarts...). Did someone ever encountered this problem ? Is there any "proper" solution ? I'm currently workin under RedHat Enterprise v3.0 Thanks in advance to answer my question. Regards.

I don't know any problems wrt reload in syslog-ng 1.6.x, are you really sure you are HUPing the correct PID? -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1
