Hello!

I want to implement a logrotate script for Evergreen (osrfsys.log is more than 2GB already), but I need to know what to put in the postrotate section. For example, in the default logrotate script for apache2, there is this bit:


        sharedscripts
        postrotate
                if [ -f /var/run/apache2.pid ]; then
                        /etc/init.d/apache2 restart > /dev/null
                fi
        endscript

What provision should be made for getting the opensrf processes to write to the newly rotated logfile? Should I just run:

su -c '/openils/bin/osrf_ctl.sh -c /openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -a restart_all > /dev/null' opensrf


Hi Syd,

The C and Perl services currently open/close the file handle with each write, so simply moving the log file will cause a new one to be created and written to.

Also, note that Syslog is an option for Evergreen if you need any additional logging speed/features.
