 |
|
I have syslog-ng set up to filter out all the cron messages into its own log file and I have logrotate set up to rotate that log file every week. However, whenever the log file rotates, the ne file is created successfully, but syslog-ng doesn't write to that file until I manually restart both syslog-ng and vixie-cron using their init.d scripts. This seems especially strange to me since syslog-ng continues to write all the messages to /dev/tty12. Here's the relevant lines from my config file. What am I missing here?
logrotate.conf:
| Code: | /var/log/cron {
rotate 4
weekly
create
compress
postrotate
/bin/killall -HUP cron
endscript
}

| Maybe you should restart syslog-ng in the postrotate section? |

| Webmin has a module for working with logrotate. It might help if you are having trouble editing the config files by hand. |
