Hi again,I'm seeing some issues with outchannel and log rotation. I've got a line in my config that looks something like: $outchannel INFO,/info.log,9000,/rotate.sh where rotate.sh basically just contains: mv -f info.log info.log.1 In the config I use the outchannel like this: *.info;*.!warning;kern.none;authpriv.none;auth.none :omfile:$INFO and everything works with rotating etc _except_ that sometimes I get one part of _a_ syslog message in the old file, and the rest in the new file. It's only the first and sometimes the last message in a file that gets partly written, the cut is not always at the same property either, it varies. It's like rsyslog calls the log rotate script before it's done writing to the log file (I put a sync call first in log rotate script to rule out fs caching issues, no help.) I have not seen this issue with 5.8.11. We do not use any async writing options or so (not that we have enabled atleast) if it's not something thats on by default, but it shouldn't if I read the docs correctly?
what version are you seeing this issue on. note that the current version is 8.10 David Lang
