rsyslog writing to syslog.1 after logrotate since upgrading to 6.5.2
Hi, Ever since upgrading to ReadyNAS 6.5.2 a couple days ago, each morning at 6:25am when the logrotate happens the syslog file rotation happens normally, but then rsyslog keeps writing to syslog...
Can anyone from Netgear chime in on this?
I see symptoms like this people have reported in Debian Linux for years, but so far none of the solutions are working here.
In case anyone else runs into this, here's what I did to work around it. I'd be interested to hear from others whether it's really the best way to solve it, or even what it was about ReadyNAS 6.5.2 that triggered it in the first place, but here goes:
Clues came from this post:
The workaround was to change the 2 lines in /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog that were this:
invoke-rc.d rsyslog rotate > /dev/null
into this:
kill -HUP $(cat /var/run/rsyslogd.pid)
