Can't you run the script as log_adm?

Alternatively, why can't you include the chown & chmod in the script?
Yes, but in fact files created by the script have many owners, not only log_adm like the example.

If there's no way, I'll use chown and chmod in the script.

If any other user should be able to write into that directory you will need to open the filemode even some more: 664 or even 666.

I hope this helps.

Thanks. Now I can see that 544 is not a good choice, I'll fix this.

Also check out the +X mode which can come in handy to preserve execute bits on directories..
