The packages that contains daemons that do logging also contain a cron job that calls the logrotating script. This in an automatic process, no need to define a logfile. If we would do that it would also mean that we have to guess which future packages would contain logging and we would have to rotate logs in that "single place" (and check for the existence of a daemon to reload) for every possible package an user may need (including things like samba).
The reason you hit by it is because you used ulogd for something that wasn't taken into account. The best way to fix it (IMHO), is to dynamically pass logfilenames to the cron scripts (if possible), like is done now in the lastest mhttpd(s) packages in CVS or create some sort of API that will pass logfile names and daemon names used in a package to a common cron script for reloading and logrotating. > cheers > > Erich > Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
