Ok, this morning I commented out my original sonicwall directive from
/etc/logrotate.conf. I then created a new file in /etc/logrotate.d called sonicwall.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /etc/logrotate.d]# cat sonicwall
/var/log/sonicwall.log {
sharedscripts
daily
rotate 7
compress
create
postrotate
/bin/kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> (wrap)
/dev/null` 2> /dev/null || true
endscript
}
This seems to be inline with what you suggested, is this correct?
Thanks,
Chris.
