So, I have stuff like this in /etc/newsyslog.conf:
/var/log/httpd/access_log 640 7 * 168 ZBN
/var/log/httpd/error_log 640 7 * 168 ZBN
/var/log/httpd/referer_log 640 7 * 168 ZBN
/var/log/httpd/agent_log 640 7 * 168 ZBN
/var/log/httpd/suexec_log 640 7 * 168 ZBN /var/run/httpd.pid SIGHUP
This isn't working. What should I be doing differently? I tried "HUP",
and that didn't work either.
'kill -HUP $(</var/run/httpd.pid)' does what I want.
What's newsyslog doing differently?
Is there some underlying magic I need to be aware of, perhaps, in what order
it does things in?
