Re: how to make radiusd restart its log files?

[Daniel Monjar]

I love perl but sometimes the shell is just as good:

----------------------------
#!/usr/bin/bash

EXT=`date +%y%m`

cd /usr/local/var/log/radius/archive
mv radius.log $EXT.log
gzip -9 $EXT.log
-----------------------------

and if you use gnu date then you can run this thing right after midnight to get a true months log. the date string would then be

`date +%y%m -d yesterday`

Hi,

    I just wrote a small Perl script... here it is... I am no Perl expert,

# !/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my $day;
my $month;
my $date;
my $time;
my $timezone;
my $year;

`mv /usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log

        `mv /usr/local/var/log/radius/archive/radius.log
/usr/local/var/log/radius/archive/$month$year.log`;
        `gzip $month$year.log`;
        `rm -r -f date.txt`;
}

I want to rotate my logs at the first of the month.  I want to rename=
the=20
log files and then have radiusd start writing to a new set.  I was ho=
ping=20
'kill -1' would make it write to a new radius.log but apparently not.=
=20
Starting and stopping radiusd does it but that seems excessive.

Any other way to do it?
