Hopefully this will help someone. I got it off the list earlier (sorry, don't
remember who sent it to me originally:)
$ cat /etc/logrotate.d/clamav
/var/log/clamav/clamd.log {
missingok
nocompress
create 640 clamav defang
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/clamav/clamd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2>
/dev/null || true
endscript
}
/var/log/clamav/freshclam.log {
missingok
nocompress
create 640 clamav defang
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid 2> /dev/null`
2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
I use defang as a generic "mail administration" group, which is why that group
gets read access.
