tinc - Apr 2013 - Problem with tinc.log and logrotate.

Hi everyone again.

I run tinc with the following command:

/usr/sbin/tincd -d1 --logfile=/var/log/tinc.log

That creates the file "/var/log/tinc.log" correctly and reports into
it.

Well, because I want to have a log file by day, I have created a logrotate
file (/etc/logrotate.d/tinc) that contains the following lines:

-----------------------------------------
/var/log/tinc.log {
  missingok
  rotate 7
  daily
  create 0640 root root
}
-----------------------------------------

When the rotate is does, the file "tinc.log" is renamed to
"tinc.log.1" and
a new "tinc.log" is created but the problem is that tinc server goes
on
reporting in the "tinc.log.1" file and not in the new
"tinc.log".

Can tell me somebody how to can solve this without kill the tinc process?


Best regards,

Rams?s

Add the following:

  postrotate
    kill -HUP `cat /var/run/tinc.pid`
  endscript

Add the following:

  postrotate
    kill -HUP `cat /var/run/tinc.pid`
  endscript

Now I have the following in logrotate file (tinc):

-----------------------------------------
/var/log/tinc.log {
  missingok
  rotate 7
  daily
  create 0640 root root
  postrotate
    kill -HUP `cat /var/run/tinc.pid`
  endscript
}
-----------------------------------------

I run "logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.d/tinc" and the same situation,
creates
the new "tinc.log" but it goes report in the "tinc.log.4"
file:

----------- tinc.log.4 ------------------
.
.
1366973321 tinc[14882]: Got HUP signal
.
.
-----------------------------------------

Another idea?


Best regards,

The "Got HUP signal" message will always end up in the old log. Which
version
of tinc are you running? You need 1.0.15 or later for this to work
correctly.
