Heya,
 
I am trying to set up newsyslog to rotate my logs
for IPFM to keep my /var partition from filling up.
 
The problem is that I can't get newsyslog to recognize
the filenames for the IPFM log files.
 
newsyslog.conf:
# logfilename          [owner:group]    mode count
size when [ZB] [/pid_file] [sig_num]

/var/log/ipfm/*.log  600  12    100  *     Z
/var/log/ipfm/%d-%b.%H-%M-internet.log  600  12  100
 *   Z
 
ipfm.conf:
# IPFM logging rules
DEVICE fxp0
LOG
FILENAME /var/log/ipfm/%d-%b.%H-%M-internet.log
TIME 1 minute
 
This is the command I am running:
 
newsyslog -n -v -F  -a /home/logs/
 
and the output:
 
/var/log/ipfm/*.log <12Z>: does not exist.
/var/log/ipfm/%d-%b.%H-%M-internet.log <12Z>: does
not exist.
 
 
It seems that newsyslog will not recognize the * in
a filename.
 
Any ideas how I could get newsyslog to recognize these
files without having to take away the date from the
IPFM log filename.
 
Thanks.
 
-Donnie
