[Cialug] HELP! Postfix not logging

[Jon Clemons]

Yes of course. For a small fee I will set up all the magic for you:) Or you 
can start using Redhat
because they make things easier for lazy people unlike Debian:)

/var/log/mysqld.log {
    missingok
    create 0640 mysql mysql
    prerotate
        [ -e /var/lock/subsys/mysqld ] && /usr/bin/mysqladmin flush-logs || 
/bin/true
    endscript
    postrotate
        [ -e /var/lock/subsys/mysqld ] && /usr/bin/mysqladmin flush-logs || 
/bin/true
    endscript
}

I think that is up next. I rotate those manually about every week or so... 
What about MySQL? Can you do the same thing to it?

Yea, I was thinking he was taking lazy sysadmin to a new level:)
Grasshopper shouldn't be hosting multiple domains in Apache until
he knows how to properly rotate the logs:)
