Package: logrotate
Version: 3.7-5
Severity: normal
After I upgraded from woody to sarge, syslogd is no longer
signalled when the logs are rotated. The effect is that
syslogd continues to write to /var/log/syslog.0 instead of
the new /var/log/syslog, and my log tracking scripts (which
assume writes will always go to /var/log/syslog) fails to
catch the new entries.
I worked around the problem by putting the following in
/etc/logrotate.conf and I'm suggesting this should probably be in there by
default:
/var/log/syslog {
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
/var/log/messages {
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
