Running RADIUS in permanent debug mode with rotating log

I really wouldn't recommend running in full debug mode on a production server full time... its only single threaded so if you have to service lots of requests you have an immediate bottleneck.

What sort of weird problems are you facing? You know you can run on debug mode for single users or clients via radmin/raddebug ??

If you really want to proceed then you can use eg crontab to run a script which kills all radiusd processes and then starts new debug session with the date in the logfile eg

radiusd -X > /var/log/debug-'date +args xxxxxxx'

Where + args xxxxxx is the date string format you require
