Hi Dan,
I was referring to this text in the stunnel man page https://www.stunnel.org/static/stunnel.html:
SIGUSR1
Close and reopen the *stunnel* log file. This function can be used for log rotation.

Hi Tom,
Is what you refer to? I think the open and re-open only happen when the service is stopped and restarted. It hasn’t rolled over like Apache in my short experience.
*log* = append | overwrite
log file handling
This option allows you to choose whether the log file (specified with the *output* option) is appended or overwritten when opened or re-opened.
default: append
Best regards,
Dan

Hi Daniel,
The trick is how to roll the logs without an interruption of service (i.e. without a stunnel restart). I believe stunnel claims to support this, but I think the feature might be broken in 5.49
Thanks,

Tom,
Kill the stunnel process. Then mv the log. This will allow stunnel to right to a new log file.

Hi,
I'm new to stunnel and it isn't clear to me how the log rolling feature works.
I built stunnel 5.49 with gcc 4.2.0 on Solaris 10. I'm running it on Solaris 11.3 SPARC. Using openssl 1.0.2p
The config file has disabled syslog and is logging to stunnel.log.
Command line is: stunnel stunnel.conf
where stunnel.conf contains the following:
syslog = no
output = stunnel.log
debug = 7
[service-exterior]
client = no
options = NO_SSLv2
options = NO_SSLv3
options = NO_TLSv1
options = NO_TLSv1.1
options = -NO_TLSv1.2
cert = /path/to/stunnel.pem
curve = zzz
accept = testhost:32100
connect = 127.0.0.1:32200
[service-interior]
client = yes
options = NO_SSLv2
options = NO_SSLv3
accept = 127.0.0.1:32200
connect = 127.0.0.1:32100
sslVersion = TLSv1
ciphers = zzz
TIMEOUTconnect = 60
The log rollowing steps I tried that don't work are:
mv stunnel.log stunnel.log.1
kill -USR1 <stunnelpid>
The log message "LOG7[main]: Processing SIGNAL_REOPEN_LOG" shows up in stunnel.log.1. However, new client connections to host:32100 do not trigger creation of a new stunnel.log file. In fact, logging stops to stunnel.log.1 as soon as the USR1 is processed. The new client connections work as before, but there isn't any logging.
I restarted stunnel and tried the test again with these steps:
mv stunnel.log stunnel.log.1
touch stunnel.log
kill -USR1 <stunnelpid>
That also doesn't work.
Please let me know the correct sequence of steps to roll the stunnel.log
Thank you,
-- Tom
