OpenLDAP logrotate

Hi,

I noticed, that sending a SIGHUP to the slapd daemon just kills it. Accourding to the maillinglist, one should do a /path/to/startscript restart when log rotating. I could not find any sample how this could be accomplished within FreeBSD. The Samba + LDAP Howto also does not mention any log rotation :-(

If someone could point me to the right direction, it just would be marvellous.
 
Hi SirDice,

unfortunately I can only see how to send a signal to a process after rotating. Sending a signal to slapd kills it. I would like to run a program after rotating such as [cmd=]
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/slapd restart[/cmd] without installing sysutils/syslog-ng or the likes. Is it possible? How do other OpenLDAP users handle this?
 
Read newsyslog.conf(5):
Code: 
             N       indicates that there is no process which needs to be sig-
                     naled when this log file is rotated.

             R       if this flag is set the newsyslog(8) will run shell com-
                     mand defined in path_to_pid_cmd_file after rotation
                     instead of trying to send signal to a process id stored
                     in the file.
