Description Andy Speagle 2015-09-02 17:33:39 UTC
Description of problem:

The bundled logrotate configuration file references the invalid PID file /var/run/syslogd.pid ... it should reference /var/run/syslog-ng.pid

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

syslog-ng-3.2.5-4.el6.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:

By default.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

Actual results:

Since wrong PID file is referenced, logrotate can't HUP syslog-ng when it rotates files.

Expected results:

The correct PID file would allow logrotate to HUP syslog-ng after log rotation.

EPEL el6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-30. EPEL el6 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
EPEL please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
