Hello,

I always rotate logs using command: service rsyslog reload.

After I upgrade my server from rh6.2 to rh6.3 I saw, that reload section
in rsyslog init script don't send sighup to daemon.

It's a bug or why you do this?

/etc/init.d/rsyslog

   reload)
         exit 3
         ;;

Thanks.



We've always used logrotate to take care of that. Redhat provides a logrotate.d/syslog snippit that will rotate

/var/log/cron
/var/log/maillog
/var/log/messages
/var/log/secure
/var/log/spooler

After it rotates them, it calls this (which you can use too):

 /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`
