Re: [hobbit] logrotate - hobbit

["Gary Baluha" <gumby3203 (at) gmail.com>]

I ran across the following thread when looking up some info on setting up
logrotate (linux) for Hobbit.
I'm curious, though... The man page for hobbitd says that SIGHUP will cause
hobbitd to "Re-read the bb-hosts configuration file."
Does that mean the example below with the postrotate command will actually
work as intended, or will it only have hobbitd re-read the config file?

For anyone using 'logrotate', the following file will rotate all the hobbit
logs.
Create the file as logrotate.cfg:

# Configuration file for logrotate application

# Add the following line to cron:
# 0 8 * * * /usr/sbin/logrotate [hobbit directory]/server/etc/logrotate.cfg
#


# Global options
compress
