Hello! I having a problem with the permissions of some of my logfiles. It seems that when the files are rotated, the user/group is root root and the permissions are rw for root only. more info hereunder: The strange thing is that sometimes it works for one file...
/var/log/cisco_acl.log /var/log/cisco_debug.log { rotate 1 notifempty #daily size 1k create 0640 root noc postrotate /bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslog-ng.pid 2> /dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true endscript }
