OK, so I finally got time to sit down and look at this, and I can't reproduce the problem (files that rsyslog can log stop being logged after reload).
I tested normal logs by: * tail -f /var/log/syslog * sudo chown root:root /var/log/lpr.log # (-rw-r----- 1 root root 776 2009-08-31 10:40 /var/log/lpr.log) * sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart * sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart * sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog reload * sudo /etc/init.d/cups reload And in the tail output, I saw (cupsd.conf problem is something unrelated, just good output to test rsyslog with): Aug 31 10:40:11 bongo rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="9805" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] (re)start Aug 31 10:40:11 bongo rsyslogd: rsyslogd's groupid changed to 103 Aug 31 10:40:11 bongo rsyslogd: rsyslogd's userid changed to 102 Aug 31 10:41:32 bongo cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting! Aug 31 10:41:37 bongo rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="9805" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'. Aug 31 10:41:39 bongo cupsd: Unable to read configuration file '/etc/cups/cupsd.conf' - exiting! So that appears to be working! It could read it from the start, and it could still read it after a HUP. Then I tested kern.log: * tail -f /var/log/syslog * sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart * plug in a usb stick * sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog reload * pull usb stick out And I saw: Aug 31 10:50:32 bongo rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="10300" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] (re)start Aug 31 10:50:32 bongo rsyslogd: rsyslogd's groupid changed to 103 Aug 31 10:50:32 bongo rsyslogd: rsyslogd's userid changed to 102 Aug 31 10:50:36 bongo kernel: [249915.148097] usb 2-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 40 ... Aug 31 10:50:49 bongo rsyslogd: [origin software="rsyslogd" swVersion="4.2.0" x-pid="10300" x-info="http://www.rsyslog.com";] rsyslogd was HUPed, type 'lightweight'. Aug 31 10:50:53 bongo kernel: [249932.212258] usb 2-2: USB disconnect, address 40 So it was also able to continue reading from kern.log after a reload. Can you give easy reproduction steps? ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Incomplete -- [karmic] Messages not being sent to system logs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/407862 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
