Hello people, and thanks in advance for any help on this matter.
I seem to be having a problem with Postfix+Amavisd-new+ClamAV+LogRotate.
It is a problem that I have yet to reproduce, so as you can probably guess
I'm getting pretty frustrated.
I've searched google up and down and although I've found some notes from
other people hinting to this kind of behaviour, I have not found a
solution.
My problem is as follows:
I am running a gentoo box, with ClamAV version 0.68-1, Amavisd-new version
20030616-p8, Syslog-ng version 1.6.0rc3, and Logrotate version 3.6.5.
I have logrotate set to rotate my logs nightly, and have been having
seemingly random problems with ClamAV restarting after the rotation
occurs. The log file get rotated fine, and logrotate restarts syslog-ng
fine also. The problem is that sometimes ClamAV simply does not start up!
The only thing I can find in my log files is in the daemon.log file:
Apr 16 00:06:28 {host} rc-scripts: Failed to start clamd
No other warnings at all. :(
I've restarted ClamAV by hand numerous times and everything works fine. I
guess I should mention that Clam is set to log via SysLog, and not its own
log file. That's why I must restart ClamAV when I restart syslog-ng
(otherwise, nothing gets written by ClamAV to the log files).
Can anyone make any suggestions as to what may be happening? If you need
more info I'll be happy to supply. I am not sure what is or is not
relevant, besides the already said info.
Here is a snippit of my logrotate config file:
/var/log/mail.log
{
missingok
olddir /var/log/oldlogs
size=500M
sharedscripts
postrotate
/etc/init.d/syslog-ng reload || true
/etc/init.d/clamd restart || true
/etc/init.d/amavisd restart || true
/etc/init.d/mailgraph restart || true
endscript
}
I am restarting ClamAV and Amavis because if I do not do that, neither
seem to write to the log files anymore. I thought that reloading
syslog-ng would take care of that, but it doesn't.
Thanks for reading this long message.
Greg
