I am logging ipmidirect to a log file and notice that the only time the log
rotates by openhpid itself is when it restarts, so I want to use logrotate
to do it.
Here's a list of logrotate configurations I have tried:
* sending HUP signal to openhpid in the 'postrotate' script, but the
openhpid died instead of refreshing it's log FD.
* using the 'copytruncate' option. The original log maintained it's
original size (it was not truncated).
* using the 'copy' option and have a postrotate script that cat'ed
/dev/null over the original log file. The original log file still maintained
it's size.
Anyone have a solution that works for them?
