Hi,
The LTB OpenLDAP RPMs include a useful logrotate script
(/etc/logrotate.d/openldap). Thanks to whoever thought of that :)
I'm a bit confused though, as it includes this:
postrotate
# reload syslog
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2>
/dev/null || true
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2>
/dev/null || true
# only restart if slapd is really running
if test -n "`ps acx|grep slapd`"; then
/sbin/service slapd restart
fi
endscript
I agree completely with sending a SIGHUP to syslogd after changing the
files. But why also restart slapd? Is this really necessary? I'm pretty
sure that slapd continues sending logs to syslogd, and that sending it a
HUP is sufficient to ensure that log files continue to be writte to.
Is there another reason for this? If the answer is no, I'll open a bug
report and commit a simple patch.
Thanks,
Jonathan
