I have quite a bit of trouble with logrotate and syslog. I am running logrotate and syslog pretty much exactly as they come from the potato release. With the exception that I added a logrotate file to logrotate.d to rotate my apache logs as well as turning on the compress option in logrotate.conf. The problem is that everytime it rotates my syslog files (weekly) it screws up syslog by making log to messages.0 etc... basically all my normal syslog files with a .0 extension. Anyone have this happen to them?
I have temorarily added a restart to the rotate for syslog to restart syslog which solves the problem but it still creates the files. Any thoughts?
