Hi,
I needed to logrotate a fil named qmail-queue.log from qmail-scanner.
So i've edit /etc/syslog.conf and changed it to: *.info;qmail-queue.none;auth.none;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages
(...)
# qmail-queue logs qmail-queue /var/spool/qscan/qmail-queue.log
Also, i've edit /etc/logrotate.d/syslog and changed to /var/log/messages /var/log/secure /var/log/maillog /var/log/spooler /var/log/boot.log /var/log/cron /var/log/auth /var/spool/qscan/qmail-queue.log { sharedscripts postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript }
----------------------------------------------------
I've restarted the syslog service
In the end all i got was the file not being rotated as well as /var/log/messages: Mar 21 08:24:10 mail kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped. Mar 21 08:24:10 mail kernel: Kernel log daemon terminating. Mar 21 08:24:11 mail syslog: klogd shutdown succeeded Mar 21 08:24:11 mail exiting on signal 15
What am i doing wrong ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards, Mário Gamito
