[cobalt-users] Logrotate Broken?



I have asked this question a number of times in the previous months but I
haven't gotten too much help.  This is what is going on with our Qube3
Professional.  For some reason after a week 1/2 or 2 weeks of being up
logrotate does not rotate the /var/log/maillog file properly and instead of
starting a new day with maillog it continues writing the log file to
maillog.1.  This is a problem since I run SMA and SMA runs its reports by
looking at /var/log/maillog but the file is empty and so the SMA report is
also empty.  I tried to fix it by logging in as root and then runnning
./logrotate and it runs but I see no output, no errors no nothing and
Sendmail is still logging to /var/log/maillog.1 instead of the maillog file.
The only solution I have is to actually reboot the machine...  The funny
thing is that this has been happening mostly on Sundays...  Any ideas?  I am
lost!

Thanks,

Santiago.
