Sorry by the mistake:

The right option is "copytruncate" and not "/copytruncate"....

Hi:

Try to add the option "/copytruncate" to your log logrotate setup....


By default, log rotate move the logfile and creates a new one. But the file handle that the process uses already points to the moved (renamed) old log file instead the newly created one... so the process already writes in the old log file.

With the "copytruncate" option, the old log file is first copied before "truncate" (i.e. : void its contends) instead moved.... In this manner, the file handle already points to the right file.

Please note that this action launched by the copytruncate option is //much slower that the default action of move the file, so there is possible to lose a few log data while it is working...


I hope this helps you.

Cheers

I have a logrotate set up for /var/log/one/oned.log and sched.log
that works just fine

[timm@snowball logrotate.d]$ more oned
/var/log/one/*.log {
    missingok
    daily
    notifempty
    sharedscripts
    postrotate
        killall -HUP oned
        killall -HUP mm_sched
    endscript
}

However, when I try to have it also rotate the econe-server.log
and the sunstone.log it doesn't work.  the new log file appears
as scheduled but econe-server keeps writing to the old dated one
and the new log file is blank. sending a HUP signal to econe-server
does not appear to make any difference.  suggestions?
