Hi,
Today I'm rotating my log files with a script that runs every night, the problem is that it must stop the radiusd process, rename the file, create a new one then start radiusd again. Is there a way to do that transparently? Via syslog or something else?
Your OS should do that already via logrotate, HUP-ing the running FR process in the process. What OS/distro are you using, and what FR version?
Hi, I'm using FreeBSD 8.0-STABLE
Sorry, I'm not familiar with freebsd.
You should be able to install logrotate from freebsd ports (if not installed already), and configure it to rotate freeradius' logs. Or contact the maintainer of freeradius port on freebsd, just in case they do it already, or have plans to do it.
... or if you're feeling particularly lazy and just want something that can run FR and is already configured to do log rotate, switch to linux :)
FreeBSD sports something called newsyslog for logrotation. Part of the standard install --maarten
