Hi,

	Trying to rotate the ups.log on a FreeBSD 7.0 system
and its not being nice about it.

	I tried the "quick and dirty" way by doing :

	mv /var/log/ups.log ${DATEDDIRECTORY}/ups.log
	kill -1 `cat /var/db/nut/upslog.pid`


	I get :

Sep 17 10:57:20 valhalla upslog[81972]: could not reopen logfile /var/log/ups.log: Permission denied


	So I stop upslog, remove the file, and start it to get a
clean/fresh file. It shows me :

-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  36 Sep 17 10:59 /var/log/ups.log


	So I change my script to :


	mv /var/log/ups.log ${DATADIRECTORY}/ups.log
	touch /var/log/ups.log
	chown root:wheel /var/log/ups.log
	chmod 644 /var/log/ups.log
	kill -1 `cat /var/db/nut/upslog.pid`

	but I'm still getting :

Sep 17 10:59:48 valhalla upslog[82020]: Signal 1: reopening log file
Sep 17 10:59:48 valhalla upslog[82020]: could not reopen logfile /var/log/ups.log: Permission denied

	Any thoughts where I'm going wrong??

		Thanks, Tuc
