According to the man page for "snmptrapd" I should be able to force it
to re-open its log file via a SIGHUP signal. Unfortunately it doesn't work.
EG, if I have "snmptrapd -Lf /var/log/snmptrapd.log" the file is
created OK but if I then move snmptrapd.log to snmptrapd.log.1 and
"kill -SIGHUP <pid_snmptrapd>" no new "snmptrapd.log" is created, it
just keeps writing to snmptrapd.log.1 (presumably because the inode
doesn't change)
I also tried HUP and SIGUSER (not supported).
This is version 5.1.2 on Slackware 9.
How can I get the log rotated like the the syslog messages file without
stopping/starting the daemon?
Thanks,
Kevin.
