Haven't verified this in the code but if you move a file (mv /var/log/mail.messages /var/log/mail.oldmessages; touch /var/log/mail.messages) and the new entries are written to the original filename that would indicate that the file handle was not being held open. Otherwise you'd see logs continuing to be appended to the new file (/var/log/mail.oldmessages). -- Roger Marquis Roble Systems Consulting http://www.roble.com/
