Description

So:

newsyslog: can't notify daemon, pid 3476 = /var/run/syslog.pid: Operation not permitted

The pid is corect, `ping -1 -F /var/run/syslog.pid`, the only difference is `syslogd` is running under `svc`.

I guess you meant ls instead of ping.

Which file are you trying to rotate ? And what does "the only difference is `syslogd` is running under `svc`." ? Is svc a system user of some sort ?

Sorry, s/ping/pkill/: `pkill -1 -F /var/run/syslog.pid` is actually working.

`svc` is a /sbin/svc, we have it since 4.0, it can be used to automatically to set up/control/jail service. I'm using custom init, that can use svc/daemon/plain service startup.
