Title: AW: [sympa-users] logroate

Yes, it seems, that you are right. I removed the line

                 /etc/init.d/sympa reload >/dev/null

and make

/usr/sbin/logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf

After this, the syslog and the sympa.log are new created and the transactiontime for this operartion is shorter. It seems, that this line is obsolet in the sympa debian package.

Regards
Herbert

Hi

Since Sympa does its logging via syslogd, as far as I know, you don't
need a 'postrotate' entry that restarts Sympa.
