Strange thing on log rotation front
Hi all!
I've decided to rotate the dovecot logs automatically on my freebsd 10.4 server using the system's newsyslog feature. I started with logfile.info putting the line
/var/log/dovecot/logfile.info 600 31 * @T16 ZCU /var/run/dovecot/master.pid 30
which should send a SIGUSER to the master process, which it seems to do for I see in the log file:
master: Warning: Sent SIGKILL to 1 log processes master: Warning: Killed with signal 15 (by pid=69871 uid=0 code=kill)
though the log process doesn't die.
What did I do wrong?
my doveconf -n says: root@baobab:/var/log/dovecot # doveconf -n # 2.2.28 (bed8434): /usr/local/etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # Pigeonhole version 0.4.17 (e179378) # OS: FreeBSD 10.4-RELEASE-p3 amd64 ufs auth_cache_size = 3 k auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth_mechanisms = plain login auth_verbose = yes default_client_limit = 1228 default_vsz_limit = 712 M disable_plaintext_auth = no first_valid_gid = 0 first_valid_uid = 100 info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/logfile.info listen = * log_path = /var/log/dovecot/logfile login_greeting = Dovecot at Baobab ready. login_trusted_networks = 127.0.0.0/8 212.45.144.0/24 192.168.134.0/24 mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/mailboxes/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u:DIRNAME=mbox:INDEX=/var/dovecot_indexes/%u maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = no managesieve_notify_capability = mailto managesieve_sieve_capability = fileinto reject envelope encoded-character vacation subaddress comparator-i;ascii-numeric relational regex imap4flags copy include variables body enotify environment mailbox date index ihave duplicate mime foreverypart extracttext mbox_lock_timeout = 443 secs namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = . type = private } passdb { driver = pam } plugin { mail_log_events = delete undelete expunge copy mailbox_delete mailbox_rename mail_log_fields = uid box msgid size } protocols = pop3 imap service auth { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/auth { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } user = root } service imap-login { inet_listener imaps { address = * } process_limit = 512 } service pop3-login { chroot = executable = pop3-login -D inet_listener pop3s { address = * } process_limit = 512 } ssl_ca =

Remove "U" from the flags:
U indicates that the file specified by path_to_pid_cmd_file will contain the ID for a process group instead of a process.
And sometimes "B" (don't insert info message about log rotation) is useful too.

Jan 22 15:00:00 master: Warning: Sent SIGKILL to 1 log processes
And sometimes "B" (don't insert info message about log rotation) is useful too. The only difference is that now I have no evidence of why the logfile.info is empty. I'll try to compile the last 2.2 version, mine is the 2.2.28 that comes with freebsd.
Thanks anyway,
Luciano.
