[prog] bash scipt question

[Tricia Bowen]

Hi Chris,
Can you provide some additional debugging information? Are you trying the -d
option for logrotate? Can you get the barebones of logrotate to work?
Something in the logrotate config file like:

"/home/snmp/logs/snmp.log" {
           rotate 5
           size=10k
           postrotate
                                     pkill snmp_collect
           endscript
       }
Also, how are you running your snmp_collect.sh script? Is it running as a
cronjob?
