Supervise & newsyslog logrotate

Hi,

I've set up logrotating with executing a script using the R flag in newsyslogs config. It seems that it's not working, the script gets not executed. I can execute it manually, then it sends the HUP signal to the given daemon, but newsyslog itself seems to ignore the R flag.

The script has executable flags.

I wonder, the default configuration comment part says for the flags:

Code: 
The 'flags' field is one or more of the letters: BCDGJNUXZ or a '-'.

So the R flag is not here, although it's there in the newsyslog.conf manpage.
Revision info:
Code: 
$FreeBSD: src/etc/newsyslog.conf,v 1.54.2.3 2012/11/17 11:36:10 svnexp Exp $

Any ideas?

Why don't you let newsyslog(8) send the SIGHUP?

Because there's no pidfile. I use supervise (as noted in the topic name), and lighttpd2. Both aren't capable of creating a pidfile. The only way of sending a HUP signal is svc -h servicedir.
 
Make sure you use the full path to commands. The PATH is rather limited.

Still doesn't seem to work. I indeed had the command in the script without a path, but corrected it, and ran
Code: 
newsyslog -F -v
to test, and got no errors or even notifications that the scriptfile got executed. The daemon haven't received any signal.
