How do I get the system to reread /etc/newsyslog.conf file with out
rebooting the system?
This is usually done by sending a HUP signal with 'kill' to the
newsyslog daemon. If this doesn't do it then you can kill the
daemon and load it again with the script in /etc/rc.d/
You might want to take a look at /etc/crontab - in particular the entry
for newsyslog:
# Rotate log files every hour, if necessary.
0 * * * * root newsyslog
Its not a daemon. It runs and exits. It reads the newsyslog.conf file
each time it runs.
I overlooked this fact.
