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.p=
id>"
I tried also "kill -SIGUP ..." same result (the daemon is stopped but nev=
er
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.
