I have a compiled application that runs find under dcd.
This app spews data on STDOUT while running. I want to run this app as a daemon (continuously running in background) and I want to save the stdout data to a logfile. In fact, I am doing this now and everything is OK: $DAEMON >>$LOG 2>&1 & Except, when _savelog_ rotates the logfile, the application writes to the first archive, rather than the file with original logfile label: -rw-r----- 1 root adm 0 Jul 9 05:07 logfile -rw-r----- 1 root adm 17943 Jul 9 14:17 logfile.0 After savelog rotates the logfile, $DAEMON is writing to logfile.0, instead of logfile. Obviously, this is not acceptable ;< I assume that this has something to do with the original redirected output keeping logfile open, even during the rename to logfile.0 -- is there a workaround?
