Created attachment 438092 [details, diff] Patch to add rotate option to the dnsmasq init script When using dnsmasq with the log-facility=/file option there is no trivial way of rotating the log file. The /etc/init.d/dnsmasq reload command sends a HUP signal, but that does not reopen the log files. For that the USR2 signal is needed. So I'd like to do something like this in logrotate.d: /var/log/dnsmasq.log { create 640 dnsmasq root notifempty postrotate /etc/init.d/dnsmasq --quiet --ifstarted rotate endscript } Attached is a patch to add the rotate option to the dnsmasq initscript. First I tried to add it to /etc/conf.d/dnsmasq, but unfortunately that doesn't work.
Instead of modifying the the init.d script, you can use the following logrotate config to have dnsmasq reopen the log file after rotation. /var/log/dnsmasq.log { compress delaycompress missingok monthly nomail noolddir notifempty rotate 3 sharedscripts create 0640 dnsmasq root postrotate [ ! -f /var/run/dnsmasq.pid ] || kill -USR2 $(cat /var/run/dnsmasq.pid) endscript }
