I deleted /etc/sv/<service>/log/current
while this service was running and wanted to get a clean set of logs. However, when I did sudo service <service> restart
, I saw that the current
file was not re-created and I can't find where the new logs are going to. I then tried to make the file myself, and even gave the loosest write permission and saw that the file still is not being written to. Here's the ls -la
of this directory(after I created the current
file):
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 92989 Sep 26 18:08 @400000005d8cfea82484f9e4.s

What can I do to bring back the current
log and restart the log rotation on this service?
ps auxf
gives me this particular line that seems interesting:
root 1269 0.0 0.0 176 44 ? Ss Feb21 0:17 \_ runsv <service>
root 1272 0.0 0.0 200 56 ? S Feb21 15:41 | \_ svlogd -b 2048 -l 2000 .
root 29245 0.0 3.9 503232 299256 ? Sl 00:55 0:22 | \_ /usr/bin/python3 <some service>
I can see the log subservice here, but I'm not sure what command I can use to restart that subservice itself.
