http://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728 Summary: SMTP listener keeping log file open for days Product: Exim Version: 4.69 Platform: Other URL: http://bugs.debian.org/476958 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: bug Priority: medium Component: Logging AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: [email protected] one Debian exim user reports (see http://bugs.debian.org/476958) that his exim SMTP listener process (the one running with -bd -q30m) keeps /var/log/exim/mainlog open for days after log rotation: |# ps auxww | grep [4]349 |102 4349 0.0 0.2 11756 2884 ? Ss Apr26 0:01 /usr/sbin/exim4 -bd -q30m |# lsof -p 4349 |COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME |[snippage] |exim4 4349 Debian-exim 6w REG 3,5 184728 128 /var/log/exim4/mainlog.1 (deleted) Since Debian rotates mainlog daily, this means that the file wasn't closed for at least more than 24 hours, after /var/log/exim4/mainlog was rotated to /var/log/exim4/mainlog.1 and, the day later, was compressed to /var/log/exim4/mainlog.2.gz and deleted. I reported this on exim-users in May (http://lists.exim.org/lurker/message/20080502.092655.fa909510.en.html), Tony investigated and saw the same behavior on one of his sytems. Sander reported that he sees the issue as well. Unfortunately, investigations stalled after reaching that state.
