Normally you do not need -o user -g group -m 644 because it picks the attributes from the logfile.
(The same feature was in the Linux logrotate, until they found a security bug in connection with its globbing feature.)
To your problem:
according to man ls the l or L means "mandatory locking" and can indeed cause a problem, e.g. logadm or cp waits until the lock is released.
Can you manually cp the logfile?
Hi,
Thanks for the notes Good to know that!
The problem is solved after restarting the process to force recreating the log in a clean manner.
It looks that my intervention to free it by redirecting /dev/null to it, caused this issue I think!
Anyway after removing it and starting the process, I was able to apply logadm on it with no problem using the same command.

I'm running logadm manually to test and it seems to be rotating my /var/log/oracle/oracle_audit.log file every single time it's ran instead of rotating once it gets passed 10 gigs, any ideas? Here's the logadm.conf for reference. (0 Replies)

empty file whose owner, group ID, and permissions match the
original file....
Is this ACL inclusive or i need to use -a option (run cmd after... (1 Reply)
My logadm.conf is below. Is there a way to match a log file that appends the time/date stamp after the log file? Also, a 0 is being appended onto the files I'm compressing and having rotated. Is there a way to fix that?

Hello folks,
I've been making some changes to logadm.conf, but I'm not getting quite the results that I'm expecting

Does anyone know what package logadm is part of? It's not on my Solaris 9 machine, I presume because I only have a core installation. But I'd like to ad it. Any help would be appreciated. (1 Reply)

We are upgrading netra servers from Solaris 8 to Solaris 10. With Solaris 8 we've been running /etc/cron.d/logchecker and /usr/lib/newsyslog in crontab. I understand that starting with Solaris 9 log rotation is now done with /usr/sbin/logadm.
Does anyone know how the Solaris upgrade will handle... (1 Reply)
