rotating logs at 12:00 noon

7 Mar 2006

      Hi,

I am new to syslog-ng. I am not a programmer, but configuration of
syslog-ng feels like I programming something!!! Wish I could get over
this soon!!

Apart from normal logging operation, I use syslog-ng to log PIX firewall
logs from the network. Following is the configuration file:

<..snip..>

filter f_11 {

        facility(local0) and level(debug..emerg);

};

destination d_8 {

        file("/var/log/pix/SyslogCatchAll-$DAY-$MONTH-$YEAR.log"
create_dirs(yes));

};

log { source(local); filter(f_11); destination(d_8); };

<../snip..>

This would typically rotate the logs at 12:00 at midnight daily.

But I need to rotate the logs at 12:00 noon daily. Is it possible to
configure syslog-ng in this manner? How do I do it?

I had unsuccessfully tried to use logrotate with the native syslog
utility in Linux. Do I have to use logrotate here again?

Thanks in Advance,

Regards,

Navin Jathan.
