Hi Carter,

My argus.conf has:
ARGUS_OUTPUT_FILE=3D/var/log/argus/argus.out

I can also for testing purposes run the -w option from the command line,
what do you think?


Regards,
Monah

Both programs have the exact same logic for output files, so it maybe how y=

&gt; I&#39;m using logrotate to rotate both argus.out and radium.out. Here =

&gt;=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0create 0600 root root<br>
&gt; }<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; radiums config works fine, but for the argus once it creates the compr=
essed file and moves it, argus.out is always 0 bytes, only way to have argu=
s log back to argus.out it is to kill the argus pid and start argus. While =
radium keeps logging to radium.out.<br>

&gt; <br>
