Operating Systems Linux SuSE How to set permissions for files which get rolled over? Post 302558684 by graosn on Sunday 25th of September 2011 01:43:13 AM

How to set permissions for files which get rolled over?

Hi,

One application that I have generates log files into a specific folder in SUSE. When the size of the log file reaches 50 MB, it gets rolled over and it is stored as testlog_1.log and the new events are logged in testlog.log

When I set a chmod -R 744 on the directory of these logs, it applies only to the files that were present at that moment. So, the new files that are generated afterwards don't get the same permissions.

One way to achieve this was to run a cron job for every 30 mins and execute the chmod command.

But is there a simpler and feasible way?

Thanks in advance,
Gopi.
