Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: laszlo@karolyi.hu Hey, on my FreeBSD box I use jails for which one global syslogd on the host that= is responsible for collecting the logs through /dev/log. The daemons that run in the jails, are configured to log under /var/log respectively. I use newsyslog(8) to rotate their logs, but because of the aforementioned situation, there is no syslogd(8) within the jail to send a HUP signal to.= =20 Newsyslog won't run without it being able to send a HUP signal to syslogd s= o as a workaround, I've specified it `-S /var/run/cron.pid` to send the signal to cron (which does nothing normally). My humble request would be, please make the sending of a HUP signal to sysl= ogd optional. Not every jail I use has cron running in it, and so log rotation = can become a pain. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
