Re: log rotation
for i in /var/run/*.pid; do kill -1 `head -n 1 $i`; done Thank you, this seems to have solved my problem nicely :) Since I upgraded to FreeBSD 4.7, I notice the following problem: Once a month when my log files rotate (simply gzipping the old, and the creating a new empty log file via a cron job) the log files stay empty. all permissions and ownerships are correct. it takes a reboot - then the daemons are able to fill up the new log files - but not until a reboot. Daemons write logs to a file descriptor (fd) without a syscall it can't change fd. using mv on a local file system use rename(), so fd is the same, and daemon fills this fd. Usually you can send a kill -HUP to the daemon to make him look for a new fd. tipically : mv current.log old.log fills old.log kill -HUP pid of daemon fills current.old gzip -9 old.old and it should work clem _ STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
log rotation
Since I upgraded to FreeBSD 4.7, I notice the following problem: Once a month when my log files rotate (simply gzipping the old, and the creating a new empty log file via a cron job) the log files stay empty. all permissions and ownerships are correct. it takes a reboot - then the daemons are able to fill up the new log files - but not until a reboot.

sh sourcing bug? test bug?
fbsd 4.7 SCRIPT --- echo 1:$1 echo 2:$2 --- COMMAND LINE --- . ./script x y --- OUTPUT --- 1: 2: --- shouldn't the output be: 1:x 2:y ??? in bash, x y arguments work as expected, but in FBSD 4.7 and NBSD 1.6L, the arguments get trashed. ps. i used slackware about 7 years ago, and quickly switched to FBSD, hacking NetBSD now and then. recently, i thought i'd give linux a spin again with RedHat - and man - heh - it didn't take long to realize how spoiled i had gotten with quality FBSD + ports. it's definitely an OS to get spoiled by. i hope it always keeps it's designs of stability, reliability, flexibility, modularity, and efficiency. __ Do you Yahoo!?
