Topic: iredapd.log logrotate problem

==== Provide basic information to help troubleshoot ====
- iRedMail version:
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version:
- Any related log? Log is helpful for troubleshooting.
====

iRedMail: 0.7.3
CentOS 5.4

I found that the iredapd.log is 0 byte after logrotate every time.

I try to reboot the iRedMail server and found that the iredapd.log back to normal on 17 Sept. and some record can write inside the log file but after mid-night corn job of logrotate, the log file had been compressed and than a new log file had been created but there are no more record anymore...

Re: iredapd.log logrotate problem

Seems caused by iRedAPD, you can try to restart iredapd service in "postrotate":

    postrotate
        /bin/kill -HUP $(cat /var/run/syslogd.pid 2> /dev/null) 2> /dev/null || true
        /etc/init.d/iredapd restart
    endscript

Re: iredapd.log logrotate problem

iredapd is a important service for postfix, is it a good idea to restart it on a running system everyday?

I afraid system cracking once iredapd service restarting got any problem during mid-night.

I remember that I have an experience on iredapd service stop and make the system crack.
