I noticed the other day when I switched freshclam from cron to daemon that it was not logging since logrotate ran. I HUP'ped the daemon and it was fine. I also put "copytruncate" in the logrotate script. You could also tell logrotate to HUP after it is done.
Not sure if that solves your problem....
Hi Dennis - Thanks for the reply.
What would the typed command lines look like - I am not a novice, but I've not had to use any commands like that before..
I'm not sure which daemon you have having problems with. You talked about clamav.log and freshclam.conf. I personally use 2 log files: clamd.log and freshclam.log. Each is set in the respective conf files (clamd.conf (formerly clamav.conf) and freshclam.conf).
As for HUPping the daemon, there are a couple methods. If your system has killall, that is the simplest:
killall -HUP clamd killall -HUP freshclam
If not, just run:
ps -ef|grep clam
and get the PID (eg 12345) for that process and then:
kill -HUP 12345
and similar for freshclam.
Logrotate is a different beast. Read the man pages on it and look in /etc/logrotate.d/ for the config file that handles the logfile(s) for clamav. Mine looks like this (freshclam):
/path/to/freshclam.log {
create 600 clamav clamav
rotate 20
weekly
compress
compresscmd /usr/bin/bzip2
compressext .bz2
copytruncate
nomail
olddir /path/to/archive/
}
The one for clamav is similar, but I rotate it daily. If you prefer to HUP the daemon instead of using copytruncate, the man pages should tell you how to run commands after logrotate runs. Take a look at the one for syslog for an idea.
Hope that helps.
