As you can see below the syslogd is still writing to daemon.0 after
savelog ran on Oct 1st.

-rw-r--r--   1 root     adm             0 Oct  1 06:47 /var/log/daemon
-rw-r--r--   1 root     adm        207110 Oct  3 11:52 /var/log/daemon.0

root        97  0.0  0.8   73  132  ?  S   Sep 28   1:01 /sbin/syslogd

After I kill -HUPed the syslogd process it started writing to the
proper logs i.e. daemon again.

I just looked into this a little more. It seems that the /var/run
file for syslog has changed. /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd tries to
do this.

kill -1 `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`

but the file in /var/run is now this

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root            3 Sep 28 13:53 syslogd.pid

How about using something like
 start-stop-daemon --stop --signal 1 --user root --exec /sbin/syslogd
?

Ian.

I have problems to follow you. In my version 1.2-11 the
/etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd file calls:

	--------------------------------------------------
	# Restart syslogd.
	kill -1 `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`
	--------------------------------------------------

So this is the correct file.

Regards,

	Joey

Hallo Andrew Howell!

}Package: syslogd
}Version: 1.2-11
}
}As you can see below the syslogd is still writing to daemon.0 after
}savelog ran on Oct 1st.
}
}-rw-r--r--   1 root     adm             0 Oct  1 06:47 /var/log/daemon
}-rw-r--r--   1 root     adm        207110 Oct  3 11:52 /var/log/daemon.0
}
}root        97  0.0  0.8   73  132  ?  S   Sep 28   1:01 /sbin/syslogd
}
}After I kill -HUPed the syslogd process it started writing to the
}proper logs i.e. daemon again.

}I just looked into this a little more. It seems that the /var/run
}file for syslog has changed. /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd tries to
}do this.
}
}kill -1 `cat /var/run/syslog.pid`
}
}but the file in /var/run is now this
}
}-rw-r--r--   1 root     root            3 Sep 28 13:53 syslogd.pid

I have problems to follow you. In my version 1.2-11 the
/etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd file calls:

	--------------------------------------------------
	# Restart syslogd.
	kill -1 `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`
	--------------------------------------------------

So this is the correct file.

Regards,

	Joey
