but can't find syslogd's PID to SIGHUP it, so that syslog can reopen
the log files.
I vaguely recall seeing some config files that defines
expiration/cleanup retention period for stuff in /var/run. Anyone
recall where that lives?
see /etc/logrotate.d
That's not what I asked.
Why don't you try by adding:
/var/log/messages {
rotate 5
weekly
postrotate
/usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd
endscript
}
to /etc/logrotate.conf
It says keep a backlog for 5 weeks.
Rotate the log weekly.
