dgilmore: there is and it rotates

dgilmore: sigul leaves the file open  and doesnt switch 
dgilmore: and then it gets compressed and we stop logging

Comment 1 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2012-11-27 16:16:21 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2012-12-02 00:12:15 UTC
I can confirm that this still happens on EPEL6 version at least... 

# cat /etc/logrotate.d/sigul 
/var/log/sigul*.log {
	missingok
	notifempty
}

There's no HUP or the like to tell it to reopen logs, and also a SIGHUP seems to cause the server to stop processing correctly, so that handling would need to be added. Also, same for sign_bridge process.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 16:20:52 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 17:02:45 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Kevin Fenzi 2015-01-09 17:18:01 UTC
Still the case on rawhide.

Comment 6 Jan Kurik 2015-07-15 15:11:14 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle.
Changing version to '23'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Support re-opening  the bridge log file

Here is a patch to support re-opening the log file at least for the bridge when it receives SIGUSR1.

Comment 9 Till Maas 2016-02-01 22:40:07 UTC
Is there any problem with the patch?

Comment 10 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2016-08-09 14:55:35 UTC

Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 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.

Fedora 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

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

Comment 13 Patrick Uiterwijk 2017-01-03 11:55:49 UTC
This is still in progress.

Comment 14 Jan Kurik 2018-05-31 09:01:52 UTC
This bug is currently reported against a Fedora version which is already unsuported.
I am changing the version to '27', the latest supported release.

Please check whether this bug is still an issue on the '27' release.
If you find this bug not being applicable on this release, please close it.
