Problem description: My ipfilter log is rotated using newsyslog.conf. The file is rotated on file size option. I have custom script that reads the log and builds email containing list of abusive source IP address. This custom script is included in the daily management report process. Problem is that on days that there is a lot of blocked traffic the log may rotate multiple times and my daily management report script only runs against the current active log. Is their some way to keep the log defined in newsyslog.conf without any rotate option and add something to my custom script to tell newsyslog to rotate the log after the script has processed the current active log file?
